Introduction

In addition to the highly recognized International Baccalaureate curriculum, UWC Maastricht is a multicultural school that hosts students from more than 100 different nationalities. The school operates within the Dutch public educational system and is subsidized by the Dutch government. It is formed to serve both the needs of the Maastricht international community and the students chosen by UWC national committees all over the world.

Inside the Classroom

At age 4, children can start their education at UWC Maastricht. The school currently offers its own primary school curriculum, but is pursuing authorization for the IB Primary Years Programme for September 2024. After primary school UWC Maastricht offers the IB Middle Years Programme (11-16 year-olds) in which students are encouraged to become critical and reflective thinkers. For 16-19 year-olds, UWCM applies the IB Diploma Programme Curriculum and the IB Career-related Programme. Alongside the IB standard courses, the school offers Dutch, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, World Arts and Cultures, Global Politics, Visual Arts, Film and Music.

Outside the Classroom

UWC Maastricht has designed a social impact programme including action-oriented courses, social entrepreneurship and community service projects. Students develop the skills and attitudes needed to be active participants in society, to identify problems and injustices wherever they exist. They design projects to provide service to the local community, they organise and lead conferences and they learn to engage critically with the world around them. Because students come from all over the world and from many different backgrounds, there are always unique insights and interesting discussions going on.

Campus and Facilities

UWCM campus is located in a very green and leafy part of Maastricht, close to the city centre. The site is surrounded by sports fields, a nature reserve and modern housing. DP and CP students live on residences across three buildings consisting of three floors, each comprised of six rooms. Every room hosts four students, of different nationalities, so it is a lively setting. Each floor has a common room, study room, laundry room and kitchenette and is supported by a Residence Mentor who lives in an apartment adjacent to the floors.

Admission

Day student applications for Primary and Secondary must meet the requirements of the Dutch Law on International Education.
