About UWC: United World Colleges



United World Colleges (UWC) is a global movement that makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. UWC’s 18 campuses worldwide adopt a holistic approach to empowering young people through quality academics and transformational life skills.

In Vietnam, UWC has had a presence for over 20 years with the UWC Vietnam National Committee sending more than 150 local students to UWC campuses all over the world.

Today, we are working towards a UWC-inspired Vietnam Campus, a non-profit boarding high school in Vietnam, with a mission to cultivate happiness, purposeful growth, and instill a strong inclination towards social impact among its students.
