The School
This school is an international extension of a well established and highly respected UK school (Wycombe Abbey) which was formed in 1896 and became renowned for its academic excellence and the nurturing and development of the whole child.
With two successful international schools already established in China and Hong Kong, the school opened two more offerings in Nanjing and in Hangzhou in August 2021. The Hangzhou school has been established as a private school enabling local Chinese nationals to enjoy the benefits of an international education. The majority of the student body are Chinese nationals studying a unique programme where an internationalised programme (UK curriculum) complements the Chinese National Curriculum. The students are taught in both Mandarin and English so that they can graduate from the School with undergraduate levels of both Mandarin and English and thereby flourish at premium universities all around the world.
The school offers full boarding school for education to students from G1 through to G12 (Years 2 to 13) as well as day students with outstanding facilities for learning, innovation and enterprise, performing arts and sport that are the hallmark of this excellent schools group.
