Do you know a young person who is fascinated by the world, and driven to make it better? Someone who is excited by learning, but also passionate about doing?
How early in the year do you usually start planning for the holidays?
While many teachers believe they treat boys and girls the same, the reality is often different. Years of preconceptions about what’s possible for the different genders, and what’s appropriate, colour the experience of many school students.
Whether you’re in your first role as a teacher, or looking back on a long and varied career as an educator, it’s always good to discover different approaches or fresh experiences. You never stop developing your vision and practice.
If I just wait a little bit longer, maybe my clouded thinking will become clear. Maybe I will then know which path to take.
Have you ever thought something like this when faced with a big decision?
It is better to give than to receive.
Behind this well-known saying is a sentiment that many in the UWC community would support. UWC students receive an amazing, life-changing gift when they study at one of our 18 schools. But more importantly, they come away inspired to give back by striving to make our world a better place.
Here are just a few of the incredible gifts UWC alumni are giving to our world through their work and influence...
You've probably read, watched or listened to dozens of stories about young people changing the world. And you've wondered: 'How can I do the same?'
The first step towards your future as a change-maker could come from making the decision to spend two years of your life studying at a UWC school. The second step is being offered a place. But you can't get to that second step if you don't complete the application form.
You wake up in a musty, dark dormitory. It's a bit cold, and you're surrounded by paintings and decor from hundreds of years ago. You've got another long day of studying ahead, in creaking classrooms, surrounded by people that look and sound just like you.
This is where it all starts.
You're young. You're passionate. You're full of ideas. And you know it can be done.
Being a parent is full of choices. And it's time for another one.
