Hiba Academy Shanghai, Shanghai | International Schools Guide

Hiba Academy Shanghai is the renamed Huili School Shanghai, run by Wellington College China as a bilingual day school for Chinese passport-holding pupils. Reviewers consistently describe it as a Wellington-network school in everything but name.
The model is co-taught Chinese and English across many subjects, with the Chinese national curriculum integrated with English-curriculum elements, and IGCSEs and IBDP at the top end. The teaching pool is described as roughly half local, half international, with around 13 years' average experience.
