Welcome
At UWC Maastricht, you’ll join a vibrant community of young people from all walks of life, working together towards a peaceful and sustainable future.
From age 4 in our Primary School to 19 in our International Baccalaureate Career and Diploma Programmes, we offer a world-class international education. With over 900 students from 100+ nationalities, we equip you with the attitudes, skills, and knowledge to live a meaningful and flourishing life. The UWC experience is about knowing and acting—understanding the world’s challenges and discovering how you can make a positive impact.
As one of 18 UWC schools worldwide, we are united by nine core values that help young people thrive physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically.
Our nine values
International and intercultural understanding
We are committed to building communities that are free from prejudice and intolerance, irrespective of people’s gender, and socioeconomic,
cultural, racial, religious or national background.
Mutual responsibility and respect
We believe in collaboration and mutual support, and recognise that respect underpins the smooth functioning of any encounter or team. People who work with our members find them dependable and respectful.
A sense of idealism
We inspire our members to believe that it is possible to make a difference and work with others who share that belief.
Celebration of difference
We consciously create supportive environments where differences are valued and recognised for the strength they bring to communities.
Compassion and service
Our actions and language communicate compassion and commitment to communities. We work at all levels – personally, locally, regionally, nationally – to make the world a better place.
Personal challenge
We are committed to learning through doing. By taking the initiative and taking on challenges, we learn about ourselves and those around us, developing a sense of responsibility for others.
Personal responsibility and integrity
Personal responsibility, accountability and integrity are at the heart of the UWC experience. We expect the people we work with to behave in a similar way.
Respect for the environment
We recognise our interdependence with the environment and actively seek solutions that will contribute to a sustainable future. Our choices and actions demonstrate this commitment.
Action and personal example
We believe in the importance of acting on your beliefs and making your voice heard so your actions stand out.
