The founding college of the UWC movement, UWC Atlantic College is located in the 12th century St. Donat’s Castle in South Wales. Here, students engage in discovery and confront risk and failure in order to learn their own strengths and weaknesses. Students work together and learn to trust each other, whether in caring for the aged and disabled, in the physically demanding conditions of mountain and rock climbing, or in operating its acclaimed water rescue programme in the waters of the Bristol Channel.
