UWC DilijanDescription
UWC Dilijan College is the 14th member of the United World Colleges movement with a mission to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. The UWC movement was founded in 1962 based on the ideas of a German educator Kurt Hahn, who believed schooling should be a preparation for life, not just for university. UWC offers a challenging educational experience to a deliberately diverse group of students and places a high value on experiential learning, community service, and outdoor activities. You can find UWC alumni among politicians and presidents of many countries, as well as among notable business leaders, researchers, famous writers and artists. One of eighteen UWC schools and colleges around the world, UWC Dilijan is the first international residential school in the CIS region and the only UWC in the post-Soviet space and the Middle East. The College offers a two year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) for students aged 16 to 18. You must be 16 or 17 years old on September 1st, 2020 to be eligible to apply for IBDP 2020/21 entry. UWC Dilijan provides its intentionally diverse, global community of students a transformative, two-year, residential education with the UWC movement's core values at the fore. Living and learning with students and staff of different cultures and backgrounds is an essential feature of the College. UWC Dilijan has five generations of alumni from 2016 to 2020; many of whom continue their education at leading universities worldwide – Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Brown, Columbia, UCL, Duke, Berkeley, McGill, University of Edinburgh, Minerva School at KGI, and many more. Many UWC graduates become Davis Scholars, attending one of the 99 partner institutions in the USA via the Shelby Davis scholarship programme.
