Established in 1982, UWC Adriatic brings together over 180 students from more than 80 countries for the final two years of their high school education.  Inspired by the ideas of the German educationalist Kurt Hahn, the UWC movement aspires to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. 

​

Unlike several other UWCs, UWC Adriatic is not enclosed in a campus, rather its residences, academic building, laboratories, library etc. are scattered throughout the village. Duino Castle appears in all its majesty at the center of the village, with the ruins of the Old Castle next to it. The College’s Administration building, canteen (“Mensa”), library and Auditorium are located beside the castle and the residence Foresteria was formerly property of the castle owners.
