Our schools, colleges and programmes

UWC has 12 schools and colleges and a growing portfolio of short educational programmes.

UWC schools and colleges follow one of  two models:

• Schools for students across a wide age range, providing students of all ages with the opportunity to benefit from the UWC experience

• Two-year pre-university colleges teaching the IB Diploma to students typically aged between 16 and 19 years

At all our schools and colleges, academic achievements are put into perspective with a demanding mix of community engagement, international affairs, physical activities, service commitments and creative pursuits.

UWC short programmes typically take place over two to three weeks in the months of July and August and cover topics including youth leadership, sustainability and intercultural understanding.
