Boarding Applications

Dover Student life HS Strings

Boarding applications

Both campuses offer residential boarding for students joining Grade 8 and above.

The application process for boarding is the same as for day students, except that all prospective boarders are considered for a place on both campuses and have a boarding readiness interview as part of their application review. 

In the past the interviews and any required assessments have taken place in Singapore at one of our campuses, although we have also occasionally been able to conduct an interview during overseas outreach tours. While pandemic-related travel restrictions apply, we conduct assessments online and interviews via video calls. 

Current day students applying to transfer to the boarding house should contact Admissions directly.

Open Day presentation

In October 2022 our Boarding webinar, featuring students and the boarding team, will give families a first hand account of life in UWCSEA boarding. Watch the UWCSEA boarding webinar.

Important considerations

Successful applicants are assigned a place in either the Dover or East Campus boarding houses, depending on their profile. 

Students who join our boarding houses commit to remain a boarder for:

  • one full school year, in the case of Grade 8 to Grade 10 students
  • until the completion of the IB Diploma Programme, in the case of Grade 11 and 12 students
