Wellington College International Pune

The school follows the English National Curriculum, with Key Stage 3 in Grades 6 to 8 and the IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10, where pupils take mathematics, English, the three separate sciences and two or three electives such as art, computer science, history, economics, music, business studies, German, French or Spanish. IGCSE courses began in August 2024. In Grades 11 and 12 the school offers the IB Diploma Programme, with six subjects across the IB groups and the core of Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS, supported by a summer bridge programme into the IBDP.

The school runs from Pre-Nursery (age 2) through Nursery and Reception in the Early Years, following the EYFS, to the Junior School for Years 1 to 6 (Kindergarten to Grade 5) under the English National Curriculum. The Senior School covers Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9, Grades 6 to 8), the IGCSE years (Years 10 and 11, Grades 9 and 10) and the Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13, Grades 11 and 12) with the IB Diploma Programme.

Wellington's educational philosophy aims for pupils to become inspired, intellectual, independent, individual and inclusive, which the school calls the 5 Is. It places the development of each child as a whole person ahead of league tables, expecting good results to follow from that. Everyday conduct is guided by five shared values, courage, respect, integrity, kindness and responsibility, adopted from Wellington College in the UK.

The 10-acre riverside campus has separate Early Years, Junior and Senior blocks. Early Years studios have their own outdoor areas, while the Junior block includes a design and technology lab, a young scientist lab, an innovation lab, a library, a cooking lab, a music centre and performing arts spaces. The Senior block adds a design and technology centre, a robotics lab, a science centre, a senior library and an arts centre with a gallery and black box theatre. Sports facilities include a temperature-controlled half-Olympic indoor pool with learner and splash pools, grass pitches, artificial surfaces, a gymnasium and a multi-purpose indoor sports hall.

Lunch and snacks are included in the fees and prepared fresh on site, with separate dining halls for Early Years, Junior and Senior pupils and menus planned with nutritionists. A health centre staffed by nurses and a doctor is open throughout the school day. Air-conditioned buses with adult supervision serve families within about 15 km. Learning support and EAL help are tailored to individual pupils, university guidance supports older students, scholarships of up to full tuition are available in Grades 9 to 11, and the Friends of Wellington parents' society organises community events.

Sport follows an active-life approach focused on participation, with programmes in basketball, football, cricket, lawn tennis, squash, badminton, volleyball, gymnastics and swimming. The arts programme spans drama, dance, music, creative writing and art and design, with regular performances and events. An activities and enrichment programme offers clubs and competitions in sport, languages, debating and mathematics, while expeditions, outdoor learning, community outreach and educational trips build teamwork and leadership.
