Email schoolWaterford Kamhlaba UWC of Southern Africa (WK UWCSA) was founded in 1963 as a response to the separate and unequal educational systems in South Africa. The property on which the school is situated was originally a farm called “Waterford Park Estate” and Kamhlaba means “of the world” or “of the earth” and therefore without distinctions such as race or religion. Different to all the other UWC schools and colleges, the academic year at Waterford Kamhlaba runs from January to November.

Email schoolIn their final two years, our students follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which is made up of three core components and six subject groups. We also offer an extended induction period to assist with English proficiency.
Average class size: 17 students
Aside from the IBDP, WK UWCSA offers Forms 1- 4. Forms 1 and 2 aim to establish foundational skills with mixed ability classes and tutor guidance, while Form 3 introduces subject choices in Creative Arts and Languages. Forms 4 and 5 focus on the Cambridge IGCSE qualification, preparing students for diverse academic paths and global challenges.
Theory of Knowledge: Students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we claim what we know.
The Extended Essay: An independent, self-directed piece of research finishing with a 4,000-word paper.
Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS): Students take part in a range of experiences and at least one project.
All students at UWC complete a co-curricular programme called Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) – an integral part of the IB qualification. Students get the opportunity to choose a physical, a creative and a social service activity.

Perched on a mountain top in Sidwashini, a 10-minute drive from the Swazi capital Mbabane, is a gathering of colourful houses and buildings. That’s Waterford Kamhlaba UWCSA. Originally designed by renowned architect and WK parent, Amancio (Pancho) Guedes, Waterford has grown as much in physical size as it has in student numbers. The Waterford community is highly influenced by the social, historical and cultural context of Eswatini.
