While UWC-USA students embrace the same mission, you couldn't imagine a more diverse group of young people. The nearly 240 students who fill the campus hail from 75 to 80 different countries and represent a broad range of ethnicities, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds. In this rich milieu, students learn about the world in a deeply personal way. As a result, they develop a profound sense of empathy and an international outlook that impacts them and those around them throughout their lives. UWC-USA is part of a 19-school consortium that includes campuses on five continents. Located in northeastern New Mexico, the 200-acre boarding school is surrounded by a majestic pine forest, springs, and the rich cultural environment of the American Southwest. All students are enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, the US equivalent of 11th and 12th grades, and the faculty-to-student ratio is 9:1. In addition to their academic studies, students learn advanced outdoor skills and leadership through UWC-USA's flagship wilderness programme. They study conflict resolution to become mediators, and they engage with the local community by volunteering for organizations that provide services to some of the area's neediest residents. When they graduate, UWC-USA students matriculate at many of the world's most highly regarded colleges and universities. From there, they go on to become community leaders, entrepreneurs, doctors, attorneys, and more. UWC-USA was founded in 1982 and has more than 3,000 proud and accomplished alumni; more than 90 percent of them say UWC-USA was the most transformative educational experience of their lives.
