Wellington College holds a deep tradition for boarding. Indeed, it is viewed as an extension of our educational model and central to becoming a Wellingtonian. In China, there is also a long tradition of boarding provision, which extends back to the time of Confucius. At Hiba Academy Hangzhou, we seek to bring together the very best boarding practices to create an environment in which our pupils thrive.

Boarding at Hiba Academy Hangzhou stands apart from traditional Chinese boarding schools as it embraces the bilingual and global nature and values of the school under one roof. The boarding house is built very much on the values of the UK boarding experience, ensuring the highest standards of pastoral care. Boarding provides an exclusive, unmatched way to prepare young people to face 21st-century life as global citizens.

The boarding experience is designed to support the development of the Hiba Key Values: kindness, responsibility, respect, courage and integrity. Our aspirations are high, and we encourage all our boarders to embrace all opportunities available to them both socially and academically.
