Hiba Academy Bay Area is Accepting Applications

2025-11-07

Ever since admissions kicked off for Hiba Academy Bay Area, our new school set to open in San Francisco next fall, we’ve seen a surge of interest in our innovative East-meets-West approach to bilingual learning.

Recently, Joy Qiao, Chair of Wellington College Education (China), hosted an inspiring and informative talk with prospective Bay Area parents. She shared the Hiba Academy story and its deep connection to Wellington College in England, a celebrated school with a history spanning 160 years. She highlighted the remarkable academic outcomes throughout the Wellington College Education (China) group.

Throughout our global network of schools, our pupils consistently achieve high scores on prestigious, internationally recognised public exams, such as the IGCSE, IB, and A Levels. After graduation, many of them gain admission to world-renowned universities, such as Stanford, Caltech, Columbia, Cambridge and Oxford.

Joy also emphasised that this new school will be built on academic rigour, a multicultural outlook, and a strong commitment to pupils’ wellbeing—a place where every child can develop an open mind.
