Our Campus 

The College is located on a 35,000 sq m site in the Hongqiao district of Tianjin, some fifteen minutes by car from the commercial centre of the city. Construction of the buildings commenced in September 2009 and was completed in May 2011, in time for the College's opening in August 2011. The result is one of the most striking and well-resourced school campuses in China, if not the world, whether in terms of architectural style, the range of facilities, or the overall pleasing effect on the eye. By the end of 2011, the College had already become a Tianjin landmark.

The architecture of the main teaching building and the adjoining Early Years building deliberately evokes the classical style of Wellington College in the UK. The former contains the Junior School on the ground floor, while above it, the Senior School occupies the second and third floors. Both schools share the main College entrance, which features elements inspired by the College in the UK, including a distinctive atrium and a welcoming parent meeting area.

The College draws inspiration from the courtyards of Wellington College UK. However, the first-floor theatre, which seats over five hundred people, is unique to the school in Tianjin, where College assemblies, as well as school and professional productions and concerts, take place.

The College Library, found on the first floor, is divided into separate sections for each school. The Senior School library is spacious and, above all, user-friendly, creating a 21st-century library designed to provide students with the tools needed to learn and succeed in our technological age. In addition to an excellent collection of books and reference materials, we offer Wi-Fi, e-readers, access to e-books, touchscreen technology, and flexible spaces for individual and group study. The adjacent Junior School library is an ideal environment for children to develop a love of reading and researching group or individual topics. The  emphasis here is on the enjoyment of studying.

Theground floor houses the College Cafeteria, designed to accommodate 500 staff and students at a single sitting, with a central serving area. The accompanying kitchen facilities enable the College to provide the highest standards of cuisine, with a wide choice of dishes on offer at lunchtimes.

One of the most striking features of the College is that very few classrooms are identical; they all have interactive TVs or whiteboards and full computer facilities.  Different parts of the school have distinct characters and are adapted to specific uses.

The Art and Design Technology rooms are larger, overlook the courtyards with more natural light. The Music rooms are soundproofed and, at their heart, have nine designated practice rooms. The Science laboratories are housed on the top floor and have differing characteristics, reflecting the individual knowledge and study skills required for Physics, Chemistry and Biology at a pre-university level. Not to be left out, Drama has probably the most remarkable location in the College: the expansive  'black box', or mini-theatre is an extension of the theatre for smaller gatherings.

The Early Years building is an attractive double-storey structure with twelve very large classrooms, each with internal toilet and washing facilities, with activity spaces overlooking the landscaped grounds. The building opens onto an outdoor play area that includes a wide range of climbing frames and toys, all set on a safety-first surface.

The sports facilities available to the College are on par with those of any school in the world, reflecting our commitment to sport, both as a healthy extracurricular activity and as a platform for individuals and teams to excel. On the College campus, there is a modern state-of-the-art Sports Hall, an indoor swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, and a main astroturf football/rugby pitch, with an all-weather running track along one touchline.
