Opened in August 2014 and located in the New Bund area, Wellington College International Shanghai is a fully co-educational day school with over 1600 pupils, aged 2 to 18 years old. Wellington College International Shanghai is guided by a clear Vision and Purpose founded upon three strong pillars and expressed in our motto: ‘Be You. Be More.’ Guided by our five Wellington Values of Kindness, Responsibility, Respect, Courage and Integrity, we offer a pioneering education to serve and help shape a better world. Our curriculum combines the very best of British and international pedagogies to create a pupil-centric, multilingual, multicultural and inclusive learning experience. We inspire our children to be Learners, Connectors, and Changemakers, to be the best version of themselves, to take pride in where they come from and to be the change they wish to see in the world.

The College is divided into three schools starting with Early Years (Pre-Nursery to Reception) housed at the Early Years Centre, with Primary School (Year 1 to Year 6) and Secondary School (Years 7 to 13) on the main campus. Following the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum through the English National and International Primary Curriculum, Wellington's pupils are then prepared to go on to study a range of IGCSE subjects in years 10 and 11 to then embark on the rigorous IB Diploma Programme in years 12 and 13.Supported by both the Wellington Core programme and Higher Education Pathway, pupils from year 9 start their journey onto being socially conscious, reflective, independent young learners, ready for life beyond as Old Wellingtonians to follow their greatest ideals as responsible global citizens.
