UWC Atlantic College was founded in 1962 as the first United World College, established by educationalist Kurt Hahn. The college was instrumental in developing the IB Diploma Programme. It is housed in St Donat's Castle, a 12th-century castle donated by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst's estate. The UWC movement has since grown to 18 schools across 18 countries.
The college brings together around 350 students from over 90 countries, creating one of the most diverse school communities in the world. The residential model means students live, study, and participate in activities together. The UWC mission of international understanding and peace shapes every aspect of community life.
