Wellington College Education traces its origins back to 1859, when Queen Victoria founded Wellington College in Crowthorne, England. It was a national monument to Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington and one of the country’s most renowned military figures and statesmen.
More than 160 years later, Wellington College remains one of the most respected educational institutions in the UK. Through its global network of schools and academies, it empowers more than 10,000 students across the UK, China, India, Thailand and soon in the US and Indonesia.
In partnership with Wellington College, the Wellington College Education (China) (WCEC) group opened its inaugural British international school in China, Wellington College International Tianjin, in 2011. The group expanded further in China with the addition of Wellington College International Shanghai in 2014 and the bilingual Hiba Academy Shanghai in 2018. That same year also saw the opening of Hiba Academy Hangzhou and Wellington College International Hangzhou. Most recently, in 2022, it launched its flagship bilingual boarding school, Hiba Academy Nantong.
