Our Vision

Excellence Is Only The Beginning

When choosing a school, we naturally look for assurances. We want to see academic strength, superb pastoral care, co-curricular excellence and strong ties to Universities and industry. We’re proud to say that Wellington has all of that in abundance. But to be perfectly frank, any independent school should be able to say the same. In today’s world with the challenges and opportunities that abound, we believe this excellence should only be the beginning. Indeed, we have wanted to ask: What else? What makes Wellington not just exemplary, but extraordinary?

There are a few answers to that question, but at the top of the pile is our pioneering approach to education itself. We live by four concrete principles designed to give our young people everything they need to not just inherit the future, but to create it. ‘Embracing complexity’, ‘Sparking connections’, ‘Leading together’ and ‘Acting today’ form the lens through which we’re designing the future of education. It’s one of the many reasons that this is such an exciting time to join us.

Something else that makes us extraordinary is our community. No other school I’ve come across has a culture more nurturing, respectful and kind than ours. You’ll feel it the minute you get here. It’s what makes this place a second home; a place and a family, that your child will cherish for the rest of their lives.
