UWC Maastricht (UWCM) in the Netherlands is part of United World Colleges, a worldwide family of 18 international schools and colleges working towards global peace and sustainability (information on all UWC schools is available at uwc.org/schools). The school operates within the Dutch public educational system and is subsidized by the Dutch government.

Inside the Classroom

UWC Maastricht consists of a primary and a secondary school. It is pursuing authorization for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years (PYP) for the academic year 2024-2025, which offers an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework that builds conceptual understanding. It is a student-centered approach to education for children aged 4-11. Students then continue with the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (11-16 year-olds), which encourages them to become critical and reflective thinkers. The last two years at UWC Maastricht students follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme or Career-related Programme (16-19 year-olds). This includes Dutch, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, World Arts and Cultures, Global Politics, Visual Arts, Film and Music, alongside other courses.

Outside the Classroom

Next to the academic program, UWC Maastricht focuses on social impact and includes action-oriented courses, social entrepreneurship and community service projects. Students develop the skills and attitudes needed to be active participants in our society, and to identify problems and injustices. They provide local and global services and they organise and lead conferences, in order to learn to engage critically with the world around them. With students from more than 100 nationalities and many different backgrounds, there are always unique insights and interesting discussions.

Campus and Facilities

UWCM campus is close to the city centre and is surrounded by sports fields, a nature reserve and modern housing. Residential students live across three buildings consisting of three floors, each comprised of six rooms. Every room hosts four students of different nationalities. Each floor has a common room, study room, laundry room and kitchenette and is supported by a Residence Mentor who lives in an adjacent apartment.
