About Shanghai

Shanghai, on China’s central coast, is the country's biggest city and a global financial hub. Its heart is the Bund, a famed waterfront promenade lined with colonial-era buildings. Across the Huangpu River rises the Pudong district’s futuristic skyline, including 632m Shanghai Tower and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, with distinctive pink spheres. Sprawling Yu Garden has traditional pavilions, towers and ponds. ― Google

About Shanghai Xingwei College

Xing Wei College was founded in 2011. The college was founded as an experiment to see how an American liberal arts style college could function within China. Xing Wei’s desire was to cultivate a crop of students who could think in new ways.

In 2005, the campus of a cash-strapped college located 20 minutes from Pudong International Airport was purchased.

In 2014 a not-for-profit foundation was set up to support the development, turning to American colleges like Yale and Amherst for inspiration. The college was accredited the same year.

Now an accredited institution, Xing Wei continues to expand on its vision to not just copy what liberal arts education is in the States, but to seek how it can be done differently to better prepare its students.

At Xing Wei, we believe students need a variety of courses to be able to find their passion. We want to give our students the freedom to explore themselves, their career possibilities, and their natural way of learning.

Though Xing Wei students come from different backgrounds, they share a common goal: to understand our world and discover their place in it. Our students experience a different kind of college at Xing Wei.

At Xing Wei, we integrate the spirit of Western liberal arts education with the traditional Chinese philosophy of acting with consciousness. A Xing Wei student will learn not only the skills necessary to attain self-knowledge, to attain freedom, but also how act in way that is conscientious of how the individual impacts the community.

It is our hope that Xing Wei students will develop kindness and curiosity about the world around them.
