UWC was founded in 1962 with the vision of bringing together young people whose experience was of the political conflict of the cold war era, offering an educational experience based on shared learning, collaboration and understanding so that that the students would act as champions of peace. UWCs remain committed to this goal today but have expanded their reach to embrace the tensions and conflicts that exist within as well as between societies. UWC has 14 schools and colleges educating students aged between 2 and 19. The education at UWC schools and colleges is underpinned by shared guiding principles. UWC short programmes offer a condensed UWC experience and take UWC's mission and values to a wider audience. UWC schools, college and programmes all have distinctive characters but share the same commitment to UWC's mission and values: UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.
