Empowering excellence: Hiba celebrates its achievements
Since 2018, Hiba schools have offered a pioneering education to help shape a better world. We bridge East and West with a pupil-centric, bilingual and bicultural learning experience. Our innovative bespoke curriculum inspires our children to be the best version of themselves, to take pride in where they come from and to be the change they wish to see in the world as they become learners, connectors and changemakers.
Recently, teachers and school leaders from our Hiba campuses in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nantong convened to celebrate successes, share insights on holistic education and reflect on what the future holds for Hiba.
Julian Jeffrey
Chief Executive Master
Wellington College China
“Wellington College China’s unique approach to bilingual education is one of our most distinctive qualities. The work done to draw in the most challenging, interesting and thought-provoking aspects of the British and Chinese curriculums has created a bespoke educational provision in our Hiba schools. For us, language learning is simply the start of a journey in bilingualism that offers lifelong benefits for learning, relationships, wellbeing and employability. We seek to place parents, whether they are past, present or future members of our community, at the heart of our Hiba experience. We want to inspire them to join us on our journey, to recognise their contributions and to offer opportunities for a more profound engagement with our schools.”
OUR PUPILS
Tomorrow’s leaders
Since 2018, our pupils have excelled in academics, the arts and sports because we believe in encouraging children to harness their talents and pursue their passions.

“We aspire to cultivate curious, passionate lifelong learners. Through open-mindedness and empathy, we hope pupils will value diversity and build cross-cultural connections. Most importantly, we want to encourage young people to make a positive impact on society and be dutiful stewards of the environment. By embodying the Hiba pillars of being learners, connectors and changemakers, our pupils will fulfil our vision of becoming inquisitive, compassionate global citizens.”

OUR TEACHERS
Passionate and professional
educators
We believe that pupil development is closely connected to the commitment of our teachers. They bring innovation and dynamism to our classrooms and communities. They foster a supportive environment that promotes wellbeing and instil in our pupils a passion for inquiry, critical thinking and creative expression. Great teachers are lifelong learners themselves; they constantly pursue personal and professional growth.

"A school's success depends on its curriculum and teachers. Wellington College in the UK provides Hiba schools with a strong bilingual curriculum backed by a robust history. Experienced Chinese and foreign teachers come together to create a nurturing community where all pupils can grow and learn. Supported by ongoing training, our teachers work tirelessly in service of each pupil’s growth and development.”
Our teachers have strong educational credentials and deep experience in Chinese and international schools. They are uniquely qualified to support our pupils’ personal and academic growth.
A balanced ratio of Chinese and foreign teachers creates a genuinely immersive bilingual learning environment.
We provide our teachers with a comprehensive continuing professional development programme to support their ongoing self-improvement.

Looking to the future
Delinda Wu
Deputy Head of School and
Executive Director of IOL
Beijing International Bilingual Academy
“Being fluent in two languages holds tremendous value as it goes beyond simple language skills. True bilingualism has a magical effect, where 1+1 is greater than 2. It enables people to relish the nuances of literary works in both languages while igniting a bright spark of creativity when our minds collide and merge. It also offers a journey of discovery through diverse cultural landscapes, forging strong interpersonal ties and detailing the depth and breadth of the human experience.”
Simon Kenworthy
Master
Hiba Nantong
“I see Hiba schools of the future branching out from China to the English-speaking countries around the world. They will then be able to leverage that to create incredible global communities and exchanges — imagine your child here in China going to spend a term in San Francisco or Sydney. Then, in return, they would host an American or Australian child at their school too. This would not only be a bilingual education but also a fully bicultural immersive experience, and what better way to build bridges between East and West than by being able to stand in the middle and see both sides simultaneously?”
