YOUTH LEADERSHIP
培养有志改变世界的青年
As an IB World School, UWC Changshu China offers a high-quality two-year

International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) and a one-year Pre-

DP preparatory programme for students to be better prepared for the rigorous

IB Diploma Programme. In addition, our students come from over 100 countries

and regions. They are also challenged through interactions in an intercultural and

diverse environment in their residential life and social activities. These challenges

encourage sharing, dialogue, conflict transformation, and reflection to see the

world from a variety of perspectives.

作为一所 IB 国际学校，常熟 UWC 提供高质量的两年制 IBDP 课程和一年

制 IBDP 预备课程。此外，常熟 UWC 的学生来自一百多个国家和地区，

身处一个跨文化的多元环境中，他们将在住宿生活和社交活动中克服各种

挑战。这些挑战有助于他们学会分享、对话、解决冲突、反思，并从多个

视角看待世界。

“UWC is a place with diversity in all forms: in nationality, opinion and interests, but
more importantly, UWC is a place to get to know yourself. By immersing myself
in the challenging but extremely fun life of a UWC student, I have become more
invested in the core values of UWC without even noticing it.”
