This number comprises 13 new, and 10 continuing, scholars. Despite all of the logistical difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and encountered during the run up to the start of the new school year, all scholars have arrived safely and have settled into their studies. Nineteen of the scholars are attending UWC’s international schools, two scholars joined Eton College and Latymer Upper School in the UK and the remaining two scholars enrolled in Amala high school programme in Jordan.
