Life at UWC is made up of a world of different experiences and opportunities. So, what can you expect once you set foot on a UWC campus?
On the academic side, you are going to study a very challenging curriculum with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP). But far beyond that, UWC is about learning through experience. By developing or supporting projects helping the surrounding communities, you will learn to put your passion for change into action. By exploring different creative and sports activities – from pottery to skiing, from photography to hiking – you will develop new skills and will be encouraged to push past your comfort zone. By living together in shared residencies with other students from all over the world and from all sorts of different backgrounds, you will learn to set aside differences and overcome barriers – and lifelong friendships will emerge along the way.
Most UWC national committees across the globe are run by volunteers. This volunteer network ensures that UWC’s unique selection process is possible. With selection activities taking place in over 150 countries and territories, we actively look for promising young students, many of whom would otherwise never dream of the opportunity that a UWC education can provide.
