UWC-USA is the American campus of the global UWC movement. Our students learn lessons in practical idealism that equip them for personal transformation and to tackle the global challenges of the 21st century.
Our students come to us with a sense of idealism and a desire to change the world. They leave with tools to do so.”
Andrew Mahlstedt, Ph.D.
President, UWC-USA
When young people learn to look at the world differently, differences are not obstacles, but catalysts for empathy, resilience, and transformational leadership.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) program sets the highest global standard for secondary education. By preparing students for top universities worldwide, the IB empowers them to pursue bold ideas and make meaningful positive change—no matter where their journeys take them.
Our leadership team blends subject matter expertise and decades of experience with dedication to student wellbeing and personal development. All are deeply committed to the UWC-USA mission and values.
While the 18 campuses of the UWC movement share a common mission and values, each campus puts these into practice in a slightly different way. Learn more about UWC-USA’s mission and commitments.
Unlike most independent schools, which rely on tuition fees to fund their operations, approximately 85% of UWC-USA’s revenues come from philanthropic contributions. As a 501(c)3 our financial statements are audited yearly. View our annual reports here.
A UWC-USA education aims to equip students with a range of experiences, perspectives and skills needed to take on the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century. Learn how we do it.
Living on campus alongside peers from more than 90 countries, students are immersed in the beauty and complexity of the world, forging connections with each other and natural world that will shape them into transformational leaders.
UWC-USA is committed to innovation that prioritizes the people, programs, place and partnerships that shape the school. Our strategic plan lays out a bold vision for the coming years.
By donating to our annual fund you help cover expenses such as faculty training, expert mentors, transportation, and the many other costs that enable core programs like CEC (constructive engagement of conflict) to enrich the student experience at UWC-USA.
