It became the 14th United World College of the 18 schools and colleges now established in the global education movement. The Founders’ aim was to bring the transformational power of education to young people from diverse geographies, cultures and backgrounds. They envisaged creating a school that combines the best practices of today’s education and embodies the future of education. UWC Dilijan represents an exciting extension of the UWC movement into the Caucasus region at the junction of Asia and Europe.
