The University of Winnipeg Collegiate

The University of Winnipeg Collegiate (UWC) is located in historic Wesley Hall (built in 1888), and offers our students an exceptional high school program. UWC is unique as it is the only full high school program within a university in Canada. As a university preparatory school, our faculty, tutoring staff, and full-time international student advisor help ensure that our students are on a path to success.

UWC is committed to offering high school programs that provide an ideal transition to post-secondary education. The Collegiate philosophy emphasizes the need for students to become mature individuals within an atmosphere of self-generated discipline, where students can discover freedom and its complement — responsibility.

UWC provides an environment of academic freedom, mutual trust and support, and ongoing professional development for faculty. Collegiate faculty strive to engage students in a rigorous curriculum that will prepare them for, and encourage them to pursue, a lifelong love of learning.
