Get a feel for MUWCI before your child gets here!
Sending your child to a fully residential school on a hillside in Maharashtra, 50 kilometres from the nearest city, is not a small decision. This section is here to help you feel close to UWC Mahindra before your child arrives, while they are there, and as they prepare to leave.
Whether you are still weighing up the application or your child is already in their second year, you will find what you need here: how they live, what they study, how the college keeps them well, and how to get in touch when it matters.
“Our daughter's decision to leave the US and attend MUWCI has proven to be nothing less than transformational. At the core, she has removed herself from a culture that views the high school years as nothing more than positioning yourself for college admissions — to years that have real meaning, value and purpose in and of themselves.”
“Pedro's move to MUWCI was influenced by me. It all comes down to this sentence he said to me recently: ‘There hasn't been a single day when I thought, what am I doing here?’ We truly feel that he is happy, well-integrated, and loving all the experiences he's been given.”
