A Bilingual Education for a Global Future 

For families raising children in the Bay Area, the world is already part of everyday life. Hiba Academy Bay Area is designed for children who will grow up with the confidence, curiosity, and cultural fluency to navigate it. 

Opening in San Francisco’s Design District in Fall 2026, Hiba Academy brings together English-Mandarin bilingual learning, academic rigor, and joyful engagement. With small class sizes and a close-knit community, we create an environment where children are  inspired to develop an authentic international perspective. 

As part of Wellington College Education, a global network serving more than 10,000 students across the UK, China, Thailand, and India, Hiba Academy draws on extensive international educational experience while creating something distinctly San Francisco. 

Two Languages. One Integrated Education. 

At Hiba Academy, English and Mandarin are not simply subjects children study. They are languages through which children learn. Students develop language proficiency alongside academic knowledge and cultural understanding, equipped to communicate and think across cultures. 

Our goal goes beyond bilingualism. We want children to become independent thinkers, creative problem-solvers, empathetic collaborators, and curious learners who are comfortable engaging with perspectives different from their own. 

Global Network. Personal in Experience. 

Hiba Academy Bay Area will welcome students from PK3 through Grade 2, growing one grade each year. At full enrollment through Grade 5, this school location is planned to serve approximately 400 students. 

For founding families, this is an opportunity to help shape a new school community while benefiting from the experience and global perspective of an established educational network. 

Located in one of the world’s most diverse and internationally connected cities, Hiba Academy is built for families who want their children to feel at home in more than one language, culture, and way of thinking. 

A new school in San Francisco. A bilingual education from the beginning. A global perspective for the future.
