MISSION

The UWC movement makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.

HS SSD Focus

UWCSEA defines sustainable development as:

Well-being for all within the means of nature

In High School, students take more leadership of the stages of service learning with teachers facilitating in a supportive role.

Students are given access and training in a range of tools that help them to understand and analyse a complex social or environmental issue and collaborate to find sustainable solutions. Students are asked to use these tools to plan sustainable, integrated action in response to the needs of our partner organisations.

Our commitment to service and sustainable development is at the heart of the UWC mission. As students develop their awareness and systems thinking, they learn to take meaningful action for positive change in the College, the Singapore community, and internationally with one of our overseas partners.
