UWC ATLANTIC

UWC Atlantic was founded in 1962 by Kurt Hahn. It was during a time when the Cold War was at its height and Hahn wanted to bring young people together from different nations to act as champions of peace through an education based on shared learning, collaboration and understanding. Hahn knew that an innovative educational model could serve to unite a deliberately diverse group of young people from across the globe, to share their dreams and aspirations and to discover their unique cultural identities. And in turn to challenge cynicism with courage and belief, to learn, grow, influence, shape and change lives to make the world a better place. At its foundation, UWC Atlantic was described by The Times as ‘the most exciting experiment in education since the Second World War.'... 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...
