The goal of all International Baccalaureate schools is to create “inquiring, knowledgeable, caring young people who are motivated to succeed.” At UWC Thailand, we believe that learning comes from students engaged in the process of ‘doing’.

At UWC Thailand, we believe that a robust co-curricular programme helps to expand our students' experience and further builds community connections. To us, they are a vital part of student life and learning.

As an integral part of our programme, students begin to engage in community engagement activities in primary school; participating in beach clean-ups, campus-wide sustainability projects, and working within our local community to develop an understanding and a culture of giving back.

All schools attempt to develop the intellectual and physical growth of the child, yet an equally critical facet of childhood development—one that is all too often overlooked in schools—is the inner well-being of the child.

Our approach to education invites, encourages, and ultimately requires students to take initiative, the young people in our care learn to find their voice and develop a sense of agency—to feel that they can control their own lives and positively affect change for others.
Student testimonial 2
The time I’ve spent here with my friends – the late night talks, the exciting moments where we’ve just sat together with a guitar and sung for hours and hours, they’re just beautiful moments. We’ve had beanbags around the bonfire. We’ve had friendship bracelets for each other. It’s always felt like we had all the time in the world.

Student testimonial 1
We’ve moved around a lot and with each move, we are always concerned about how our girls and our family would integrate into a new international school. The UWC Thailand community opened its arms and its hearts to us right away removing any doubt about the choice we made. We are a UWC Thailand family now through and through.
