UWC mission The UWC movement makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.

UWCSEA educational goalWe educate individuals to embrace challenge and take responsibility for shaping a better world.

UWC mission in actionLocal serviceStudents are committed to building deep and sustained connections with the local community. All High School students engage in weekly, year-long service activities with local people and communities. These range from visiting homes and hospitals for the elderly and disabled, working with children with multiple disabilities or teaching life skills to former domestic workers who have been victims of violence.

Global ConcernsGlobal Concerns (GC) projects focus on communities and causes in developing nations outside Singapore. Students identify regional grassroots NGOs to support and then create events to raise awareness and funds for environmental, human rights and development projects in education and health. Examples of Global Concerns include Tsunami Education Fund, Indonesia, Northern Lights, North Korea, SeaWater, Swaziland and Tiger Watch, India.

69 Local service partners

74 Global Concerns

$930,950 raised by students for Global Concerns

Project WeekAll Grade 11 students plan and organise independent budget travel in small groups to destinations within Asia. Most trips involve service at

a Global Concerns project but can also include an educational course or adventure expedition. In March 2013, the Class of 2014 organised themselves into 80 groups to visit 60 organisations in 15 countries. Projects included building houses in Cambodia and the Philippines, trekking and teaching in Nepal, building and maintaining animal rescue enclosures in Laos and Thailand, working with street kids in Indonesia and blind children in India, learning Muay Thai and jungle survival skills in Thailand and establishing a turtle hatchery in Malaysia.

Initiative for PeaceThe Initiative for Peace (IfP) programme is an annual conference that brings together youth from opposing sides of a conflict and builds human capacity in places such as Timor Leste and Sri Lanka. Each year UWCSEA students from both campuses are selected to work together organising and facilitating the conference. They undergo a year of training in peace facilitation, negotiation and leadership from UWC alumni and visiting experts from the United Nations and NGOs. At the end of the year they travel to an area of former conflict and lead an intense week of workshops with young people from across the divide, helping them to learn how they can instigate social change in their country.

There are 12 member schools across the globe, of which UWCSEA is the largest.

Sports and Arts programmesStudents have extensive opportunities to compete and perform at the highest level. Our students are expected to participate fully, exploring new interests, developing strengths and pursuing passions.

326 events through activities

18 professional drama and music productions annually

Gap YearUWCSEA arranges gap year programmes based in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. There are many opportunities for our graduates to work in ecology projects or with NGOs focused on human rights and education.

Awards/honoursUWCSEA Dover offers awards to students in academics, activities, service, sports and the arts.
