The International Baccalaureate Diploma programme, offered in the senior school, is the programme that fits the WK vision and mission best. Like Waterford, the IB firmly believes that a truly educational programme must offer more than a series of academic subjects. Activities, sports, global concerns and a real engagement with the local community are as much the key to a successful completion of the Diploma programme as intellectual ability and academic achievement. Like WK, the IB believes that the purpose of any education must be to help young people embrace diversity and difference. The IB vision clearly aligns with that of both the UWC and Waterford itself. The IB Diploma programme offers schools a wide range of subjects to choose from. Please click here to see the IB Learner profile.
