Core Selection Criteria
UWC follows six key standards for selecting students
A great education can transform lives. But, throughout the world, too many people are missing out.
That’s why UWC does things differently. We think that a quality education shouldn’t just be reserved for those with wealth or connections. We believe that those with the drive and compassion to change the world should be given the chance to shine.
