Wellington College International Shanghai opened in 2014 and has been awarded numerous accolades, including being recognised as the best school in the city in a recent Hurun report.
Shanghai is one of the most exciting cities in the world and the school reflects this in its outstanding location in the New Bund Area, a rapidly developing, modern, commercial and cultural district in Pudong.
Alongside the Huangpu River, this large school has world-class facilities including indoor and outdoor sports amenities as well as high tech classrooms and inspiring spaces for the performing arts. Younger age groups learn in a purpose- built Early Years Centre and the main campus houses a vibrant sixth form for IBDP students. Results consistently and significantly exceed global averages and are widely celebrated.

“I have Wellington to thank for learning about contemporary music. I love that I have friends here who I can jam with. The diversity of perspectives here has also helped shape who I am. I have friends here with aspirations to become chemists, pilots, lawyers. They are so insightful and inspiring.”
