UWC South East Asia
Alexander is currently going to UWCSEA East Campus – he started at K1 and is now in Grade 1. Once Maia turns six, we will enrol her too.
When we were looking for a school, we spoke to friends with children at the various international schools. UWC was consistently praised – by the children as a great school and by the parents for its excellent educational standard. We were particularly drawn by the holistic approach to education. We’re both strong believers that, in addition to solid academic credentials, exposure to other elements of life and the care for others are important factors in education.
Alexander’s teachers have been exceptional, each one having a huge impact on helping him develop, yet at his own pace and in a fun way. The school adopts a play-based learning approach which fits him perfectly. We’ve seen a great development in Alexander, both academically and socially. One of UWC’s strengths is the many opportunities there are to learn and grow both inside and outside of the classroom. A recent example is when some Grade 1 students (accompanied by a parent) went to Cambodia on a service trip to Kuma Cambodia, a school that provides education, healthcare and nutrition for vulnerable children.
The UWC curriculum is all-encompassing and the children are exposed to different aspects every day, from literacy and mathematics to science, music and languages. This year, Alexander is learning Spanish as an extra language and has the opportunity to study his mother tongue (Dutch) once a week. There’s also a wealth of extracurriculars, from swimming, gymnastics and tennis to robotics, Lego building and chess, and the school’s facilities are top notch and well-maintained.
