Wellington College International Hangzhou opened in 2018 and is one of the overseas partner schools of Wellington College in Crowthorne, England, which was founded in 1859 as a national memorial to the first Duke of Wellington. The Hangzhou school sits at 2399 Xue Zhi Road in Xiaoshan District and takes pupils from Year 1 to Year 13, roughly ages five to eighteen. It is registered as a school for the children of foreign nationals, so places are open to children holding foreign passports, to residents of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and to children of Chinese citizens settled abroad. Teaching follows the English National Curriculum, enriched with international content, leading to IGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11 and a two-year A Level course in the Sixth Form. Classes are capped at 24 pupils and each class has two tutors under a Co-Homeroom system pairing a bilingual local teacher with an international colleague. A vertical house system - Hardinge, Raglan, Murray, Benson and Combermere - groups pupils of all ages together for pastoral support and competitions. The school shares its campus with Hiba Academy Hangzhou, the group's bilingual school, which also runs the kindergarten for children aged two to six. The Class of 2026 received 203 university offers between them.
