A UWC education does more than provide a world-class academic experience. It also challenges each student to make use of what they learn to help others. We all have a role to play in making the world better, whether that’s in our communities or on the world stage. And that doesn’t just apply to our students.
At UWC, we are always thinking about how to use our resources and networks to provide help and change where it’s needed the most. We want to make sure that a UWC education is powerful, and that its reach also spans further than the years students spend at one of our schools. This is why the effects of a UWC education multiply far beyond the impact it has on a single UWC student.
