UWC Mission
The United World College movement
makes education a force to unite people,
nations and cultures for peace and a
sustainable future.
UWCSEA Educational Goal
We educate individuals to embrace
challenge and take responsibility for
shaping a better world.
Mission in action
College, Local, and Global Service
Students are committed to building deep
and sustained connections within the
Singapore community. All High School
students engage in service learning. Grade
11 students commit to weekly, year-long
service activities through the Local Service
programme supporting causes that
address income inequality, mental health,
eldercare, migrant workers, refugees, and
inclusion of people with disabilities. A
small number take on a coach-mentor role
in a College service for younger students,
for example mentoring students in a
sustainability group.
Global Concerns (GC) projects focus on
communities and causes in developing
nations outside Singapore. Students
identify regional grassroots NGOs
to partner with and provide support
for environmental, human rights and
development projects in education, health
and empowerment.
of industries in Singapore, as well as
project-based initiatives at the College.
The internships vary from two weeks to
three months.
Sports, Arts, and
Leadership Programmes
The College has a robust sports and
performance programme. A wide array of
activities are offered including inter-school
sports competitions within Singapore
and internationally. Some students also
engage in supporting younger peers with
sports coaching and language lessons.
Awards/honours
UWCSEA Dover offers awards to students
in academics, activities, service, sports,
and the arts.
University advising policies
• students are limited to ten applications
worldwide
• we do not compute GPA or rank students
• in cases where universities require or
request, UWCSEA Dover reports all
out-of-school suspensions, exclusions
and withdrawals that arise as a result
of a disciplinary incident where the
incident raises significant concerns
about the future safety and wellbeing
of the student concerned or of those
with whom the student interacts; or
where the incident raises significant
concerns about the academic integrity
of the student
Initiative for Peace (IfP)
Initiative for Peace (IfP) is a transformative
programme undertaken by UWCSEA
students from both Dover and East
Campus. Students undergo a year of
training in conference facilitation, peace
and conflict negotiation and leadership,
delivered by UWCSEA staff and alumni
and visiting experts from NGOs. At the
end of the year IfP students travel to an
area of former or current conflict and lead
an intense week of workshops with young
people from diverse backgrounds, helping
them to learn they can instigate social
change in their community.
Project Week
Project Week allows Grade 11 students
to embark on worthwhile trips within
Singapore or more commonly to pre-
selected overseas projects. Students
develop their competencies in line with
the UWCSEA mission. By engaging in
the College’s months-long preparation
programme they learn about their ability
to work effectively with others beyond
the classroom. They develop teamwork,
responsibility, interpersonal and
intercultural understanding and good trip
planning skills such as first aid, budgeting
and risk mitigation.
