UWC宣布全球第18個校區成立

世界聯合學院（UWC）很高興地宣布非洲大陸的第二所UWC正式獲得批準成立。

UWC International is pleased to announce the approval of a second UWC school on the African continent.

通過長達幾年的審核，世界聯合學院國際董事會在上周批準坦桑尼亞的International School Moshi（ISM）正式成為UWC教育事業的最新成員。這是一個令人興奮的決定，ISM的加入符合UWC旨在南半球特別是非洲增加影響力的戰略目標。第一批由UWC各國家委員會選出的學生將在2019年9月入讀ISM（學校新名稱待定），UWC在全球校區的總數將增加到18所。

After a years-long process, the UWC International Board last week unanimously approved International School Moshi (ISM) in Tanzania as the newest member of the UWC movement. This is an exciting addition for many reasons, including its alignment with UWC's strategic goal to increase UWC's impact and reach in the Southern Hemisphere and Africa in particular. The first cohort of UWC national-committee selected students will join ISM (new name to be announced at a later date) in September 2019, bringing the total number of UWC schools and colleges worldwide to 18.

ISM是全世界最早提供國際文憑大學預科課程（IB）的學校（在所有的UWC中，只有英國UWC比ISM更早提供IB課程）。ISM位于乞力馬扎羅山附近，環境優美。 ISM還提供一系列成熟的多種多樣的CAS活動（創造，活動，服務），師資團隊中也有好幾位UWC畢業生。

ISM is one of the oldest International Baccalaureate schools in the world (of all UWC schools and colleges, only UWC Atlantic College's IB certification predates it), and is located in a stunning setting near Mount Kilimanjaro. The school boasts a well-developed and diverse CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service) programme, and there are several UWC alumni on staff.

ISM的總監，Anna Marsden（她曾在南部非洲斯威士蘭UWC校區工作過），對此表示：“我們對ISM被批準成為全世界第18所UWC，非洲第二所UWC感到非常興奮，我們很期待迎來世界各地學生加入我們已然十分多元化的社區。我們知道，作為UWC的一員，我們將能夠在東非甚至更大范圍擴大UWC的影響力。”

The school's Director, Anna Marsden (who worked at Waterford Kamhlaba UWCSA for several years), had this to say about the news: "It is with great excitement that we receive the news that ISM has been approved as the second UWC on the African continent and the 18th in the world, and we are looking forward to welcoming students from across the globe to join our already diverse community. We know that as a member of UWC we will be able to broaden our reach and impact both within East Africa and beyond."
