UWC宣布全球第18个校区成立

世界联合学院（UWC）很高兴地宣布非洲大陆的第二所UWC正式获得批准成立。

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

通过长达几年的审核，世界联合学院国际董事会在上周批准坦桑尼亚的International School Moshi（ISM）正式成为UWC教育事业的最新成员。这是一个令人兴奋的决定，ISM的加入符合UWC旨在南半球特别是非洲增加影响力的战略目标。第一批由UWC各国家委员会选出的学生将在2019年9月入读ISM（学校新名称待定），UWC在全球校区的总数将增加到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是全世界最早提供国际文凭大学预科课程（IB）的学校（在所有的UWC中，只有英国UWC比ISM更早提供IB课程）。ISM位于乞力马扎罗山附近，环境优美。 ISM还提供一系列成熟的多种多样的CAS活动（创造，活动，服务），师资团队中也有好几位UWC毕业生。

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的总监，Anna Marsden（她曾在南部非洲斯威士兰UWC校区工作过），对此表示：“我们对ISM被批准成为全世界第18所UWC，非洲第二所UWC感到非常兴奋，我们很期待迎来世界各地学生加入我们已然十分多元化的社区。我们知道，作为UWC的一员，我们将能够在东非甚至更大范围扩大UWC的影响力。”

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."
