Applicants for Years 2-13 will undertake an English examination and a Cognitive Ability Test (CAT4). The test is completed online, under the supervision of a member of the Admissions team, and takes one to two hours to complete. This assessment provides comprehensive data on a pupil's verbal, non-verbal, spatial and quantitative abilities and informs the Admissions Committee as to whether your child is ready to access the Wellington College curriculum.
We are able to offer a limited number of onsite tours as per the current regulations. Please contact our hotline numbers to book an appointment.
Yes. For the academic year, Wellington offers 13 school bus routes with over 60 pickup points across the majority of family living areas in Tianjin.
Wellington College Tianjin and Wellington College in England hold a uniquely close relationship at all levels from governance to pupil and faculty exchanges. This relationship allows for an exchange of ideas and professional learning and ensures that we uphold our Values, Identity and the highest quality of education.
Like Wellington College International Shanghai and Hangzhou, the curriculum at Wellington College Tianjin is based on the National Curriculum of England, suitably enhanced to incorporate exciting elements from the IGCSE and A level programmes. We also recognise that the College is a school with a multinational pupil body, and the needs and expectations of all pupils very considerably. Our curriculum is suitably tailored to meet the background and individual needs of our pupils, giving them a wide breadth of educational experience and academic depth.

Though the language of the College and of the curriculum is English, we recognise the importance of Mandarin to our pupils and to their families. In all years, pupils are taught by Mandarin specialist teachers on a daily basis who can adapt to those taking their first steps in learning Chinese as well as those who may be bilingual or have parents for whom Mandarin is their first language. The Mandarin department works across the school, with specialists for each different age and phase of child development. In addition to supporting a love of learning of the Chinese language, the Mandarin department also works outside the formal classroom learning, offering a wide variety of Chinese cultural activities as part of the After School Activities (ASA) programme as well as organising celebrations of traditional Chinese festivals.
Sport is an integral part of each pupil's development, wellbeing and education. As such, our pupils engage in separate Physical Education and Swimming classes weekly. Through our ASA programme, as well as Sports Days and other school sport competitions, our pupils enjoy access to our gymnasium, football pitch, 100-metres all-weather synthetic running track, basketball and Tennis courts, and two swimming pools, including a 25-metre, six-lane competition pool.
