Boarding Life at UWC Thailand
Boarding at UWC Thailand is more than just a place to stay — it is a vibrant, international community where students learn, grow, and create lifelong friendships. Living on campus gives students the chance to be fully immersed in UWC life, surrounded by peers from around the world who share the same spirit of curiosity, compassion, and commitment to making a difference.
Our boarding programme nurtures independence and resilience while ensuring every student feels safe, supported, and cared for. Guided by our school’s holistic approach — Good Heart, Balanced Mind, Healthy Body — boarding life integrates academics, wellbeing, and community in a balanced way.
Living Together
Boarding students live in two modern houses on campus, each led by dedicated Houseparents and supported by the wider residential life team. Rooms are deliberately diverse, with roommates paired across cultures and backgrounds, giving students the chance to learn about one another and develop mutual respect.
Beyond bedrooms, the boarding houses offer shared kitchens, study areas, and lounges — spaces that encourage collaboration, conversation, and friendships that last a lifetime.
A Balanced Experience
Boarding life balances the quiet rhythm of academic study with vibrant activities. Weekdays are aligned with school schedules and evening routines, while weekends bring opportunities for cultural trips, local market visits, cooking classes, movie nights, and sports. Students are encouraged both to rest and recharge and to take part in activities that build community and broaden horizons.
Day Student Engagement
Community at UWC Thailand extends beyond boarders. Day students are welcomed into the houses during free periods, after school, and for boarding activities. They may also stay for sleepovers on weekends, helping strengthen bonds across the whole school community.
