Hiba Academy Shanghai
Reviews
- 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.
- Public discussion is mostly teacher- and recruiter-side. commenters in 2025 were prospective teachers asking about salary, contact hours, behaviour and class size, suggesting the school is well-known on the international circuit but lightly reviewed in public by parents.
- Operator and directory pages emphasise the Wellington link, the East-West curriculum framing and the bicultural environment. Treat the values language as marketing.
- Independent parent voice is thin online, partly because most local parents discuss schools on Chinese-language platforms outside Reddit and English-language forums.
