MISSION STATEMENT
Wellington College China represents the marriage of traditional
values and progressive education. Our Wellington values of
Courage, Respect, Integrity, Kindness, Responsibility are as
pertinent today as they were more than 158 years ago when
Wellington College was founded.
We create an invigorating and challenging environment across
all of our schools, not forgetting to make the learning experience
enjoyable, opening up both the minds and hearts of our pupils,
teachers, parents and all other members of our communities.
We wish to provide a transformative experience, equipping
pupils with personal resilience, adaptability, tolerance and
positivity to face the demands of a rapidly changing world, while
ensuring that each grows to understand that serving and caring
for others brings the highest rewards in life and the greatest
possibility of long-term happiness and fulfillment.
Our vision is to inspire pupils to become intellectual,
independent, individual and inclusive; our Wellington identity.
This will be based on a model of holistic education and pastoral
provision that establishes the values, aptitudes and knowledge
needed to be an effective global citizen. We aim to prepare
pupils for success during and beyond life at the College.
We aspire to create a caring, learning community that develops
well-rounded individuals with strong values and the skills and
identity to thrive within an ever-changing world.
