The Confucius Classroom at City of Glasgow began operations on April 7, 2009; its official establishment was held on February 26, 2009. It is hosted at Hillhead High School in Glasgow. The Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) awarded the Confucius Classroom status in recognition of the school's achievements in Chinese language and culture education, providing Hillhead High School School with a grant. The set up of the Confucius Classroom was based on a partnership between Glasgow City Council, Learning and Teaching Scotland, and Hanban. This Confucius Classroom is currently listed as one of the Confucius Classrooms under the Confucius Institute for Scotland’s Schools. The Confucius Classroom’s partner school is Tianjin High School affiliated with Nankai University. The original Confucius Institute project is tracked under Record ID#44297.

Staff comments

The Chinese name of the project is 格拉斯哥市孔子课堂. Hillhead High School is known as 山岭中学.
