UWC South East Asia (UWC SEA) became a full member of the UWC movement in 1975. In 1998, the college expanded to include a younger years programme accepting students from 4 years old to become a K-12 school. In 2011, a second campus opened, making UWC SEA the largest of the UWC colleges, with students from more than 100 countries and more than 90 languages spoken. UWC SEA offers a K-12 holistic and concept-based curriculum. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is offered in Grades 11-12, and applications are open for day students and residential boarding from Grade 8.

Systems Transformation Pathway
IB Systems Transformation: Leadership for Change is an innovative new course, carefully designed by passionate and experienced educators in partnership with the IB. It is for students looking for further challenges and authentic, project-based experiences in their learning journey. This course will also help shift the IB Diploma worldwide towards a more flexible model with more real-world learning, more authentic assessment and greater student agency.
The Systems Transformation Pathway focuses on three areas:
- Sostenibilidad
- Entendimiento intercultural
- Consolidación de la paz
Through project-based learning, students explore how to connect and lead others; how to understand and navigate complex systems; and how to be resilient and adaptable in the face of challenges and failures. There are five distinct areas in which skills and capabilities will be taught and assessed in this course. These are: Project and Change Management; Leadership; Systems Thinking; Design Thinking; and Changemaker Mindsets.
The IB Systems Transformation: Leadership for Change is assessed entirely by coursework, balanced over the two years of the programme.
Co-curricular
All IBDP students at UWC complete a co-curricular programme called Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) – an integral part of the IB qualification. Students get the opportunity to choose a physical, a creative and a social service activity.
Students are involved in CAS for the whole of their IB Diploma and ideally spend 3-4 hours a week engaged in an extracurricular pursuit. Many experiences involve a benefit to the community and encourage students to consider global issues and the ethical outcomes of their participation.
