Li Po Chun UWC of Hong Kong

Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong (LPCUWC) is one of 18 colleges which share the mission, values and philosophy of the UWC movement.

Sharing a firm commitment to diversity, LPCUWC is a boarding school that goes beyond being “international.” We are a vibrant community interwoven by more than 250 students from over 80 different nationalities, cultures, and various socio-economic backgrounds supported by scholarships. Living in a fully residential college, students learn from and with friends of different backgrounds in their shared living experiences.

Students are exposed to a strong presence of many traditions and cultures. Everyone gets a chance to immerse themselves in the cultures of other regions of the world, and showcase their own, at cultural evenings. Students from abroad also have the opportunity to explore Chinese culture in depth by learning the language and taking part in activities like Dragon/Lion Dance. There are opportunities to develop a deeper understanding of China and Asia through service trips to Mainland China, East, and South-east Asia.

Like many other UWCs, LPCUWC is a tight-knit community on a quiet campus close to nature. However, we are also just a stone’s throw away from the heart of Hong Kong, a dynamic coastal metropolis that lies at the crossroads of cultural, political, historical, and geographical transitions. With an eclectic selection of Quan-Cai activities that bridges citizenship on and off campus, service in the school and local community forms an integral part of education at LPCUWC. At LPCUWC, the city becomes our campus.
