The United World College-USA was founded in 1982 in Montezuma, NM through the philanthropy of the late Dr. Armand Hammer and is part of an international movement that now includes eighteen two-year pre-university residential schools worldwide offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma curriculum. UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations, and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.
We aspire to be a model international educational organization with significant impact on each of our learners to assume responsibility and demonstrate leadership for positive changes in the world.
We continually seek imaginative, meaningful innovations in our programs, in how students develop academically, socially, and in their orientation to serve others.
We share in the need to operate in a financially responsible manner, with all of us seeking ways to build a stronger institution so that the quality of our services is constantly improved and so that we continuously invest in better ways to deliver our mission.
We realize our ideals by interacting with one another with mutual respect and a constant awareness of the many cultures which make up our educational community.
Students at UWC-USA start working to become agents for change the
minute they set foot on campus. Building bridges to understanding
with students of radically diverse nationalities, races, beliefs
and economic backgrounds. Partnering with a local homeless shelter,
tutoring children, and renovating a community center. Learning to
respect nature as they test their endurance in the wilderness. And
completing a rigorous IB diploma program at the same time. Our
students learn lessons in practical idealism that equip them to
become changemakers for life.
Students and faculty conduct over 17,000 hours of community
service every year - putting into practice the values fundamental
to the UWC mission.
85% of students attend UWC-USA on full or significant
scholarships.
We build a strong community on campus so our students learn how
to build strong, just, and positive communities wherever they end
up. We believe our diversity is our strength.
Many UWC-USA alumni attend prestigious universities after
graduation and go on to careers serving others.
