Hiba Academy Nantong

Wellington College China is excited to show off the newest member of its family — Hiba Academy Nantong, whose vision is to cultivate talent through virtue, kindness and integrity. Hiba Nantong is committed to providing a world-class bilingual education to Chinese pupils aged 3 to 18 leading to university entrance overseas, primarily in the UK, the USA or Europe. Hiba Academy Nantong encourages its pupils to become both outstanding Chinese nationals as well as well-rounded, global citizens. We say that our children have roots in China but a global vision. Teaching is in both English and Chinese with about 50% of our staff being local Chinese and 50% native-English speaking expats. All of our Chinese staff also speak English and are role models to the children in the school. The Common Room is strong with both the Chinese and foreign staff teaching and socialising together.

Offering a complete 15-year education system, Hiba Academy Nantong has a total  area of 80,000sqm and is the largest campus in the Wellington College China portfolio. It opened its doors to Early Years 2 - Grade 7 (Ages 3 - 13) in September 2022 and will expand by one grade per year hereafter until full. Having an enrolment capacity of 2000, the school also offers boarding accommodation for approximately 700 pupils, starting from primary school age. Hiba Academy Nantong adopts the same architectural style as Wellington College in England coupled with the latest, state-of-the-art facilities.  Its teaching areas, boarding accommodation, school halls, library, indoor sports hall, swimming pool and outdoor football and rugby pitches are all designed to resemble its premium British counterpart in both style and quality.

​Thanks to the network of talent Wellington College China has developed over the past 10 years, Hiba Academy Nantong has been able to assemble an outstanding academic team and a top-quality learning environment. Our links with Wellington College are strong and good practice and CPD is shared regularly between the schools. With more Wellington and Huili school to come online in various global locations in the coming years, it is a very exciting place to work.
