Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong (LPCUWC) was established in 1992 as the second UWC in Asia. Situated in the serene outskirts of Ma On Shan Country Park, LPCUWC is also less than an hour from the heart of the city, allowing for frequent and extensive engagement with local communities and organisations. As a tight-knit community surrounded by lush greenery, LPCUWC provides an excellent place for students to develop a deeper understanding of China in relation to Asia and the world through Project Week service trips within the region.
Three Unique Features
- Quan Cai Program: Through its Quan Cai (‘whole person development’) programme, students are given the responsibility to initiate and run projects and participate in local community service.
- Chinese Culture: Located in a vibrant city which lies at the crossroads of Asia, students are given the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of China and Asia through Project Week.
- Location: The campus is located in a quiet and green haven of Hong Kong, surrounded by trees, mountains, and the beach, whilst simultaneously being only a short commute from the fast-paced skyscraper districts of the city.
