UWC Maastricht (UWCM) in the Netherlands is part of United World Colleges, a global network of 18 international schools dedicated to promoting peace and sustainability (more information on UWC schools is available at uwc.org/schools). The school is integrated into the Dutch public education system and receives funding from the Dutch government.

Inside the Classroom

UWC Maastricht offers both primary and secondary education as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, providing IB programmes from kindergarten through graduation.

For students aged 4-11, we offer the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), which nurtures a lifelong love of learning. The PYP fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a global perspective, empowering young learners to explore the world in meaningful and engaging ways.

Students then progress to the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ages 11-16, which emphasizes critical and reflective thinking.

In their final two years, students can choose between the IB Diploma Programme (DP) or the Career-related Programme (CP), designed for ages 16-19. These programmes offer diverse course options, including Dutch, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, World Arts and Cultures, Global Politics, Visual Arts, Film, and Music.

Outside the Classroom

Beyond academics, UWC Maastricht emphasizes social impact through action-oriented courses, social entrepreneurship, and community service projects. Students develop skills and attitudes to actively engage in society, identify social issues and work to address injustices. They engage in both local and global service initiatives and organize conferences to enhance their critical engagement with the world. With over 100 nationalities represented, the school fosters diverse perspectives and dynamic discussions.

Campus and Facilities

The UWCM campus, located near Maastricht's city center, is surrounded by sports fields, a nature reserve and modern housing. Residential students live in three buildings, each with three floors. Each floor comprises six rooms, housing four students of different nationalities per room. Each floor also features a common room, study room, laundry room and kitchenette, with a Residence Mentor in an adjacent apartment for support.
