Boarding
A UWC education emphasises experiential learning. The classroom is only one component of that experience, which extends to service learning, sport, creativity, student societies and life together in a residential setting.
Driven by a commitment to the social and emotional wellness of our students, the residential life programme provides students the chance to live the values that are central to the ethos of UWC community. Students live in comfortable residences called “toons”, which in Armenian means “house”. There are either two or four students from diverse cultures living in one room with shared bathrooms. Toon Parents, the staff members assigned to the residences, support and maintain a homely environment for the students and they assume the role of the local parentis. To make students’ living conditions healthy and comfortable there are several common rooms, kitchens areas, indoor game areas, laundry areas and multi faith prayer rooms. The students gain valuable and enriching experience living together with many different nationalities under the same roof
