Faculty
The College's international faculty includes over 36 teachers from 15 countries, who actively engage in the community life as mentors and learners. Aside from teaching, several of them act as Toon (House) Parents. They provide pastoral assistance to the students and support them in their daily challenges and global decisions.
UWC Dilijan is happy to say that four UWC movement alumni (UWC Adriatic, UWC Atlantic, UWC Red Cross Nordic) are currently involved in academic and pastoral life at the College. With the ratio of 1 teacher for 6 students, the College provides a tailor-made approach to every student, ensuring their best experience of the IB Diploma Programme.
The majority of teachers have had international experience and a background in teaching IB Diploma prior to coming to UWC Dilijan.
