But if you visit the imposing 12th-century estate today, you are more likely to come across one of the most international assortments of students in the UK than a glittering bash. Educational sanctuary UWC Atlantic College’s 350 pupils hail from 90 countries. The boarding school attracts wealthy teenagers whose parents pay fees of £58,000 for the two-year International Baccalaureate programme (alumni include the King of the Netherlands, two serving members of the Chinese Communist Central Committee and the offspring of Queen Noor of Jordan). But more than half of students receive some kind of scholarship – among them a contingent of refugees who have fled warzones in pursuit of a top-class education and sanctuary in the remote seaside castle. One of the greatest challenges for the refugees is getting over the guilt of being rescued Catering for them is no easy task. Teachers are keen not just to overcome the language barrier by improving their English, but also to help them maintain their mother tongue (with a dedicated Arabic teacher, for instance).

  • UWC Dilijan: One Absolutely Happy School
    UWC Dilijan: one absolutely happy school Better to learn and understand other people when they differ from us more difficult than those who belong to the same community with us. But at the same time is much more useful: when we come into contact with representatives of other traditions and cultures, different mentality, understand the common and the differences between us — horizons inevitably expand, the mind becomes more flexible, leave prejudices and the tendency to stereotypical thinking. The result is much more than knowledge about how different countries celebrate the New year. The policy of multiculturalism, growing since the 1970s years in many countries of the world has always been through understanding the diversity of cultures, identities, points of view — to come to an understanding of unity and wholeness. And thereby reduce tension in the society, to reduce the number of conflicts to reach the realization that any two people, no matter how they differed from each other, are part of humanity. And, therefore, their culture can interact, intertwine, to become part of human culture. Of course, education can become a powerful driving force in the process of bringing people and cultures. This thesis represents the mission of the UWC, or the United World Colleges founded in 1962 and is today recognised around the world. UWC to date is 17 schools and colleges on four continents and more than 60 000 graduates. UWC Atlantic College (Wales, UK) Source: uwcmahindracollege.org Netherlands and Swaziland, India and Singapore, Costa Rica, and Norway — in all these countries there are institutions and UWC. In 2014, the first UWC College appeared in the former Soviet Union, in Transcaucasia, midway between the capitals of Armenia and Georgia, in the Armenian city of Dilijan.

UWC Robert Bosch College is a two-year pre-university college and boarding school for students from all around the world. The project was initiated and implemented by the Deutsche Stiftung UWC and Robert Bosch Stiftung on the occasion of Robert Bosch´s 150th birthday. The campus was constructed on the site of a former Carthusian monastery in Freiburg. The school officially opened in September 2014 and our first generation of students graduated successfully in May 2016. All 18 United World Colleges are based on a unique educational concept first developed by co-founder and teacher Kurt Hahn: We welcome students from a deliberately diverse range of backgrounds and experiences – a cross section of socio- economic backgrounds, cultures, races, religions and nationalities. Common to all 18 UWCs in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, students at UWC Robert Bosch College are confronted with central issues of humanity: intercultural understanding, peace and sustainable development. UWC Robert Bosch College places a particular emphasis on environmental issues. A key question that our students explore is how technology can contribute to sustainable, ecological development and peace. Approximately 200 students aged between 16 and 19 from around 90 different nationalities live and study together for two years.

Thereby ensuring a socioeconomic and cultural diversity at UWC schools that goes far beyond nationality or religion. EMBRACING THE DIFFERENCES THAT MAKE UP OUR WORLD How do I get along with roommates from different continents in a small space?

So I invested in leaders, and that investment helped me to be successful. …I’m looking to invest again in leaders of the future.” SHELBY M.C.
