Pearson College UWC (PC UWC) draws accomplished young leaders from up to 160 countries and every province and territory of Canada. Pearson’s curricula feature a strong emphasis on experiential education at the residential campus. Located at the southern tip of Vancouver Island and on the traditional territory of the Sc’ianew (Beecher Bay) First Nation, the campus’ forested and temperate coastal location encourages students to undertake challenging learning in both modern classrooms and outdoors year-round.
Three Unique Features
- A Global Visionary: PC UWC was created and named to honour Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Lester B. Pearson – a visionary former prime minister – and embodies his commitment to global cooperation. Pearson’s Nobel Prize recognised his pivotal role in establishing the inaugural UN multinational peacekeeping forces, driven by his belief that peace hinges on mutual understanding and knowledge.
- Climate Action Leadership Diploma (CALD): The new Climate Action Leadership Diploma (CALD) offered at Pearson College UWC is an IB Career-related Program (IBCP) and is among the first of its kind, two-year diploma for 16-19 year-olds who wish to specialise in climate leadership.
- Ecological Marine Reserve: Pearson College UWC acts as an eco-guardian for the world-renowned Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. Students learn through marine science courses, diving activities and volunteering on the reserve and around Race Rocks islands.
