Guidelines for completing the form

This is an opportunity for you to tell us about your child and how you believe they will both benefit from and contribute to life at the College. In keeping with our mission and ethos, we seek to build a diverse student community that represents a variety of backgrounds and experiences. We believe that our students’ learning, interactions, and growth through the five elements of our learning programme is all the more exciting and enriching when they interact with peers who bring a diversity of backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives to campus. 

All applications are reviewed to determine whether the applicant will be able to benefit fully from the opportunities offered by UWCSEA learning programme.

When you have completed the form and clicked ‘Submit,’ you will be directed to our online payment gateway to make payment of the application fee. We accept Visa, MasterCard or American Express.

Each application requires payment of an application fee, which is non-refundable whether or not we are able to offer your child a place. The costs are set out on the Fee schedule. Important note: an application is not submitted for consideration until the application fee has been paid in full.
