The United World College of the Atlantic Ltd

UWC Atlantic is a college for students aged 16-19 years of age. Students travel from over 150 countries to live, study and learn together pursuing the International Baccalaureate and an outdoor-orientated experiential education over two years.

UWC Atlantic is based at St Donats Castle, south Wales, in a 12th century castle set in 122 acres of woodland and farmland, with its own valley and seafront. We are the only United World College in the UK. Established in 1962, we are the founding college of the UWC Movement, which we launched in 1967. The college also co-created the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme now widely respected across the world. The UWC Movement encompasses 18 global schools and colleges dedicated to uniting cultures and countries through education.

Viewing education as an experimental, experiential journey, the UWC Movement has moved away from rigid frameworks and created a ‘no-limits’ approach that challenges traditional boundaries between the curricular and co-curricular and enables each and every student to discover their sense of self and purpose in our ever-changing world. At UWC Atlantic we have over 9,100 alumni, each determined to make a difference to the lives of others and the world.
