UWC offers a life-changing opportunity to finish high school in one of 18 extraordinary international schools around the world.
Once again we are seeking applicants in British Columbia for United World Colleges. UWC is a global education movement that makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. 2020, like no other year, has shown us just how interconnected our world is. More than ever we need inspired young people to embrace their global community and begin their path towards shaping our future. Students are selected from over 155 countries based on their demonstrated promise, potential and diversity. UWC believes that education should not depend on a student’s socioeconomic means, and many students receive either full or partial financial assistance based on their needs. UWC schools are for students aged 16-19, a time when young people’s energy and idealism can be guided towards empathy, responsibility and lifelong action. Students attend a UWC school for two years, earning the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, with many opportunities outside the classroom for experiential learning, community service and outdoor activities. Applicants rank their preferred campus placements around the world, one of which can be the incredible Pearson College UWC right here in BC. Tell your students that we are now welcoming applicants for the 2021 school year. The application deadline is November 15, 2020. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for a young person destined to be a leader and change-maker.
