Hiba Academy Hangzhou and Wellington College International Hangzhou both offer a world-class education. We are proud to have an unwavering commitment to excellence in everything we do, and we strive to provide the best academic opportunities for all our pupils.

Hiba Academy Hangzhou will adhere to the curriculum standards laid out by the Chinese national curriculum and Zhejiang Province guidelines in all areas. These standards and practices are enhanced by combining them with the very best of UK teaching methodologies and pedagogies, along with the Wellington College holistic approach, to ensure that our pupils are well-rounded and equipped with the 21st-century skills to succeed in their lives beyond the College.

The rigorous academic programme at Wellington College International Hangzhou is designed to challenge our pupils with the finest elements of the English national curriculum, framed within our international location, to meet the needs of all our learners. Our pupils will study English, maths, science, art and Chinese, achieving personal and social development through the very highest standards.

Wellington College International Hangzhou does not offer a separate nursery. All pupils between the ages of two and six, regardless of nationality, can enrol in Early Years 1 through 4 at Hiba Academy Hangzhou. If a child turns five before 1 September in any application year and meets one of three eligibility requirements, they can apply to transfer to Year 1 at Wellington College International Hangzhou.

After completing their nursery journey, children can transition into Hiba Academy Hangzhou, where they begin their primary school journey in Grades 1 through 6. After primary school, children enter Junior High from Grades 7-9. In Grade 9, children begin a vital transition year because they will complete their IGCSE examinations in Grade 10. After completing their IGCSE, Hiba pupils proceed to their A Levels, graduating in Grade 12 from our Sixth Form, well-prepared to enter the world's top universities.

The A Level (Advanced Level) is the qualification taken by 18-year-old students in the UK and is the most common qualification in international schools worldwide. It is also the most popular international curriculum in China (the number of pupils in China studying A Levels greatly exceeds those studying IB and other international curricula). Pupils typically study A Levels in three subjects. Some pupils may be tempted to study four or more subjects; however, it is worth bearing in mind that almost all universities will give offers based on three subjects, where the quality of the grades is given far more importance than the quantity of subjects taken. This allows pupils to specialise in and study subjects in depth, genuinely preparing them for the transition to university.

Learning at Hiba Academy Hangzhou will provide pupils upon graduation with internationally recognised qualifications that are applicable worldwide. They have equal value in the UK, USA, Canada and many other countries. Indeed, Wellington College Education (China) schools boast an excellent track record of pupils securing places in Ivy League universities in the USA, along with leading universities in the UK.
