UWC Mahindra College (MUWCI) is a vibrant college for IBDP1 & DP2 students with a rich tradition of curricular innovation and community engagement. Programmes such as the World Studies Extended Essay were conceived and piloted here. As part of its Experiential Learning, the College runs the "Akshara" initiative which enhances the positive local impact of the College and provide students with numerous opportunities for project and service learning.

Inside the Classroom

UWC Mahindra offers the IBDP Programme curriculum. Alongside standard subject choices, MUWCI offers Visual Arts, Theatre, Film and Philosophy. Additionally, students also benefit from "MUWCI Core" - a specially designed internal curriculum by the college that explores the areas of Culture & Peace Studies, Sustainablity & Climate Crisis, Health & Well Being, Digital Literacy & AI, as well as regular student-led Global Affairs sessions. UWC Mahindra has received accreditation to offer the IBCP, which is in the process of implementation for subjects like Film and AI.

Outside the Classroom

UWC Mahindra offers an immense variety of co-curricular activities through its Creativity, Activity, Service program (CAS), referred to as the "Triveni" program, which facilitates project-based learning. Students can choose from a rich diversity of Service Learning opportunities on and off campus spanning areas like rural public education, organic farming, mental health and menstrual health. Students are also active participants in decision-making processes that affect campus life, such as envisioning and executing resource management initiatives on campus. Students benefit from the cultural diversity of the surrounding valley and India at large and have immersive experiences in other parts of the country through Experiential opportunities like Experience India Week and Project Week. MUWCI also conducts short course summer programmes which bring together students from around the world to learn about issues such as sustainability and globalization.

Campus and Facilities

Students live together in five residential clusters known as "wadas", each of which forms a more intimate community. The campus also offers many informal locations for gathering and hiking, and several places on campus are well known among students and faculty for their gorgeous vistas of the valley during sunset. Facilities include a Performing Arts Centre, science labs, a library, art studios, a dance and music studio, swimming pool, two gymnasiums, basketball and tennis courts and a football field.

Admissions

Students can apply through their UWC National Committee or through the UWC Global Selection Programme.
