Sir Anthony Seldon said, ‘in my eyes, Nantong is a very vibrant and joyful city.’

On 31st October, Sir Anthony Seldon, CEO of Wellington College Education, and Joy Qiao, Founder and Chairman of Wellington College China, and their delegation visited Nantong.

Nantong, as the hometown of education, has profound cultural heritage and rich educational resources. Wellington(China) has kept close cooperation with Wellington College in the UK, which has a history of over 160 years. It has founded more than 10 schools around the world. In September 2022, a flagship boarding school under Wellington (China)——Hiba Academy Nantong officially opened. It has absorbed the essence of Chinese, British and international education, providing immersive multilingual and multicultural learning experience to Nantong students. In the future, Nantong hopes to further deepen the cooperation with Wellington(China), to provide service support for cultivating more international and integrated talents for Hiba Academy Nantong, and create an environment and atmosphere that support the development of private education.

Sir Anthony Seldon said, ‘in my eyes, Nantong is a very vibrant and joyful city.’ While in Nantong, he visited Hiba Academy Nantong, and hoped the school could give full play to their advantages and cultivate more outstanding students with global vision and international competitiveness, and build bridges for in-depth exchange between Chinese and western cultures.
