Wellington College International Hangzhou opened in 2018 and is part of the Wellington College Education network. The school operates within Wellington College Education (China) (WCEC), a group that oversees a family of Wellington schools and uses a multi-layered governance model (WCEC Executive Board plus School Affairs Boards and sub-committees). WCEC's expansion in China began with Wellington College International Tianjin in 2011 and continued with additional schools, including the Hangzhou campus in 2018. The school's governance structure and relationships to the wider Wellington network are described on the college website.
The school community includes an organised parents-and-staff group called Friends of Wellington (FOW) that meets regularly and helps connect families, staff and school leadership. FOW runs social and cultural activities listed on the site, including an International Food Fair, Winter Fair, Summer Festival, shopping trips and evening events for parents, and it works with the school on charitable activities that involve pupils. The school presents FOW as a central element of campus life and provides a contact route for parents who want to join or learn more.
Friends of Wellington (FOW) serves as the school's parent–teacher association, representing parents, teachers and other members of the Wellington community and meeting regularly to plan activities. The group organises named events such as the International Food Fair, Winter Fair and Summer Festival, coordinates shopping trips and parent evenings, and collaborates with the school on charitable programmes that give pupils opportunities for service. The website emphasises that FOW brings diversity to the school calendar and welcomes parents to take on roles large or small; a contact email (hz-fow@wellingtoncollege.cn) is provided for those interested in joining. The school's governance pages also note Maya Tarabay Schisano as a founding member and past Events Chair/Chair of FOW, illustrating FOW's established role in school life and events. For practical involvement and current schedules, parents are directed to contact the FOW email or the school.
Wellington College International Hangzhou opened in 2018 and is located in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou (2399 Xue Zhi Road).

The campus includes a dedicated programme of co-curricular activities (the Wellington Academy Programme) and runs the Duke of Edinburgh's Award; the school also publishes a downloadable bilingual fee schedule and an admissions contact for visits and enquiries. The school publishes an on-site nursery link for early years and identifies English-language teaching with weekly Chinese lessons across Key Stages; the campus and programme information (including bus service details and the fee schedule) are available from the school site.
