About UWC Adriatic
Established in 1982, UWC Adriatic brings together over 180 students from 80 countries for the final two years of their high school education. Inspired by the ideas of the German educationalist Kurt Hahn, the UWC movement aspires to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.
Life at our residential school can be demanding and truly transformational. Living in rooms of 2, 3 or 4 students in one of our 7 residences scattered throughout the village, co-curricular life is at the heart of the UWC Adriatic experience, with a particular emphasis on service to others. Eighty percent of our students are non-native English speakers yet all study towards the full International Baccalaureate diploma in English. All students also study Italian. With all our teachers living in the village as well and acting as personal and residence tutors, we are a very tight knit community.
Thanks to the ongoing generous support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, National Committees and other public and private sponsors, all the students who attend the UWC Adriatic do so regardless of their ability to pay. Selections are carried out by UWC National Committees throughout the world who look for applicants of promise and potential – those who are committed to making a difference in their communities and the world. The result is a truly diverse school population both culturally and socio-economically. We are committed to making every opportunity accessible to all our students.
