About this school
UWC Thailand is a non-profit international school in Thalang, Phuket, and part of the United World College movement, whose mission is to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. Its roots go back to 2002, when founder Klaus Hebben set out a holistic model combining academics, social and emotional learning, mindfulness, sport and the arts. The school joined the UWC movement in August 2016 as its 16th member, and is accredited by the Council of International Schools.
It takes day and boarding students from age 2 to Grade 12 and is authorised for all three International Baccalaureate programmes: the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes. Learning and language support, university counselling, social-emotional learning and mindfulness are part of the programme, guided by the motto 'Good Heart, Balanced Mind, Healthy Body'.
The community includes students, staff and families from more than 99 nationalities, with no dominant culture. Boarders live in two houses on campus led by houseparents. Service and sustainability projects, such as mangrove restoration, run alongside outdoor education, sports and activities.
