We are thrilled to announce that WAS International has successfully secured a nomination for the 2025 Sustainability and Innovation Awards!
Wycombe Abbey International, part of the pioneering BE Education Group, is the international arm of the renowned Wycombe Abbey School in the UK.
We educate over 2,500 students aged 3–18 across campuses in Changzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Hong Kong. Blending the Chinese National Curriculum with the best of British education, we offer a world-class, holistic learning experience. Students thrive in academics, sports, arts, and leadership, supported by excellent facilities and inclusive programmes. With a strong focus on global citizenship and top university pathways, we nurture confident, compassionate leaders ready to shape a brighter, more connected future.
The Sustainability and Innovation Awards are organised by the British Chamber of Commerce Shanghai and aim to recognise outstanding institutions and individuals who actively promote sustainability and social innovation in China. Since its inception in 2022, the awards have become a benchmark for excellence in the education sector, bringing together industry experts and leaders to provide a high-level platform for showcasing significant contributions in the fields of environment, society, and governance (ESG).
* Community Engagement: Encouraging collaboration between schools and local communities for mutual benefit.
WAS International’s success in this competitive environment is attributed to our commitment to multiple strands of educational and social advancement.
Wycombe Abbey International Schools (WAS) in Changzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Hong Kong are making a profound social impact by expanding educational access, championing inclusion, and strengthening community engagement.
One of our most inspiring initiatives is the Wycombe Abbey International Scholarships Programme. Launched in 2023 and now in partnership with the UK Government’s Mandarin Excellence Programme, this groundbreaking scheme offers fully funded A-Level scholarships in China to underprivileged students from UK state schools. From 2025, it gives over 50 deserving individuals a life-changing opportunity to study in China, boosting students’ academic horizons while building cultural bridges between China and the UK.
WAS also leads the way with other inclusive, community-based initiatives. Ranging from para-blind sports events with Chinese Paralympians, special education needs training, charity work, sustainable farming and cultural days that engage the elderly, our commitment to inclusion is hands-on and heartfelt.
Students benefit from cross-cultural international exchanges, engage from companies like Geely and Aston Martin, and learn from partnership with leading universities. Events like Pops Concert, attended by about 1,000 people, help strengthen community ties.
Through our commitment to diversity, equity, and global citizenship, WAS is empowering the next generation — one opportunity at a time.
With this nomination, we earnestly invite all friends and supporters of WAS International to actively participate in this public voting. The voting has officially begun, and we look forward to receiving your valuable vote!
