Wellington College International Tianjin
Opened in August 2011, Wellington College International Tianjin is the first overseas international school partnered with Wellington College, United Kingdom. Wellington College International Tianjin will provide the same high standards of excellence and depth of education as Wellington College in the UK.
Wellington College in the UK was founded by Queen Victoria in 1859 as the national monument to one of Britain's greatest military figure, the Duke of Wellington, who also served the country with distinction twice as Prime Minister.
Centrally located on a newly purpose-built campus in the city of Tianjin, the College boasts impressive facilities designed in the distinctive classical style of Wellington College in the UK, including fully-equipped interactive classrooms, a library, an indoor gymnasium, a sports field, a swimming pool and a state-of-the-art theatre. The College caters for children aged from 3 to 18, with a dedicated nursery block, the Nest, housing the younger students on the same site.
THE ETHOS
Wellington College is one of the most respected schools in the UK and also one of the leaders in pioneering and transforming education for young people. It is a vibrant and popular co-educational school where students learn to be leaders for life. This year the College celebrates 153 years of commitment to providing the highest possible standards of education.
Wellington College International Tianjin adheres to the highest academic standards and provides students with the knowledge, skills and life expertise to achieve their personal best. However, an education based solely on examinations does not fully develop each individual's potential. Wellington College International Tianjin will provide a unique opportunity in the breadth and depth of education offered, which goes beyond academic success into every sphere of life. Students will be stretched intellectually, artistically, aesthetically, physically, musically and spiritually. Wellington College is deeply committed to an all-round education and the development to the full of each student's individual gifts.
GOVERNANCE
Wellington College International Tianiin is run by a Board of Governors made up of local representatives and those appointed by Wellington College in the UK.
