We recognize the profound impact that physically challenging outdoor experiences can have on a young person's holistic development - including their intellectual, physical, spiritual, social, and moral growth. We believe that Outdoor Education (OE) is more important than ever before.

At UWC Thailand, we take a comprehensive approach to learning, extending beyond the classroom to immerse our students in the breathtaking natural diversity of Phuket and beyond. Our Outdoor Education programs are designed to cultivate a lifelong love of outdoor pursuits, instilling in our students a deep appreciation for the natural world.

To achieve this goal, we weave outdoor programs into the very fabric of UWC Thailand. 

Our approach includes:

• Activity-specific Outdoor Education units 

• An integrated Outdoor Learning program 

• Cross-subject collaboration 

• Co-curricular outdoor activities

• The Duke of Edinburgh International Award

• Outdoor conservation and environmental stewardship program

• Outdoor Education Camps & Expeditions

Through this array of risk-appropriate learning experiences, our students develop integrity and responsibility, gaining a profound understanding of and respect for the environment. The result is a transformative educational experience that empowers our students to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
