Wellington College International Tianjin aspires to create a caring, international community that develops well-rounded individuals with strong values and the skills to thrive within an ever-changing global society.

Mission statement:

Wellington College International Tianjin provides a learning environment in which students are:

United – through the values of kindness, courage, integrity, respect and responsibility we seek to to engage positively and proactively within the school community and beyond.

Progressive – the community is committed to continuously developing and improving in all that it does so that students can thrive in terms of academic progress and personal development.

Well-rounded – this is achieved through a broad offering of curricular and extracurricular opportunities underpinned by the Wellington values and identity.

The Wellington identity

Inspired

The school wants Wellingtonians to have been genuinely excited by everything they have done during their time at the College. They will have developed a zest for life so that they, in turn, go into the world ready and able to inspire others. This is the core pillar of the Wellington Identity.

Intellectual

Wellingtonians must move into the world with the ability to think critically and to engage in deep learning. They will be able to study beyond the bounds of any curriculum, to be inquisitive and ask questions of everything around them, and be imbued with a life-long love of learning.

Independent

Wellingtonians develop the personal, cognitive, social and study skills to enable them to cope with the challenges of university and their lives beyond. They will adapt, cope and thrive within an ever-changing world. This outcome is reflected in our academic curriculum, our co-curricular programme, our commitment to the coaching philosophy, and our continued focus of character development and leadership.

Individual

The aim of a Wellington education is to allow pupils to develop themselves fully in every sense, knowing that interested children become interesting adults. The pastoral care and focus on pupil wellbeing at the College values each and every pupil as a unique individual. The journey to individuality is also reflected in the broad curricular and co-curricular opportunities, where every pupil discovers and fully develops their talents, passions and interests, knowing that interested children become interesting adults.

Inclusive

Wellingtonians will leave the College, not in a bubble of elitism, privilege and exclusivity, but with the moral values and social conscience to serve others and live good lives. This inclusivity includes a strong pride in coeducation, and a commitment to internationalism through the A-Level and a service programme unrivalled in schools.

The Wellington Values

These values continue to underpin the conversations we have with pupils and the messaging we give in assemblies, and are embedded at the heart of our rewards and sanctions at the College. They encapsulate how we want Wellingtonians to be.

Courage: the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation, and be able to  take calculated risks in the pursuit of goodness.

Respect: a positive feeling of esteem for a person, group, entity or quality, resulting in acting with fairness. This includes self-respect, which involves not compromising one's values just to gain approval from others.

Integrity: consistency and authenticity. Acting in consort with one's values or beliefs.

Kindness: showing consideration for others and acting selflessly for their benefit.

Responsibility: being reliable, dependable and accountable for one's conduct. Fulfilling a duty. Acknowledging the need to serve the communities in which we operate.
