United Indian School, established in 1985 stands head held high in the heart of Abbassia in Kuwait. Having carved a niche for itself in the educational arena in Kuwait, the school is one of the biggest and the best among the CBSE schools in Kuwait. Serving about 6300 students, the school seeks to provide an integrated program in training the intellect, body, and spirit of every child under its care. UIS is recognized by the Ministry of Education of Kuwait and is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, India. It prepares students for the All India Secondary School Examination (AISSE) and the All India Senior School Certificate Examination(AISSCE). The medium of instruction is English with Hindi as the second language. From Std IX, French is also offered in place of Hindi. Arabic is taught from Std 1. We at UIS seek to impart knowledge with the full conviction that true knowledge is divine and that only such knowledge will lead to the holistic development of a child. UIS aspires to help in the process of building the character of her students by giving them strong moral values. An edifice on a strong foundation stands tall and strong when everything around it crumbles and decays. Therefore we strive to lay strong foundations in the lives of our students who will in turn enrich their communities and society at large. The school Motto is ‘Knowledge is Divine’. We believe that however much knowledge we acquire, human knowledge is always incomplete and imperfect. Only God is omniscient. We do believe that knowledge without application is of no use. We also believe that one must not be proud of one’s knowledge but the more knowledge we gain the more humble we should become. Extra-curricular activities are a part and parcel of life at UIS. Apart from sports, students are encouraged to take part in elocutions, debates, declamations, recitation, vocal and instrumental music, art, drama, collage making, handwriting competitions, storytelling, fancy dress, etc. Inter-house competitions allow everyone to participate. House-wise display boards provide students with the opportunity to display their artwork, poems articles, etc. Rangoli, Pookalam, Patriotic Song, and folk dance, one-act plays are some of our regular features. Mathematics, Science, and General Knowledge quizzes are held frequently. Talent shows are organized before the summer break each year. View full school

Japan with its culture, convenience, public health system, and public safety is often regarded as one of the top places to raise a family, however high costs of living usually stand in the way of that. Particularly, the high costs of education often preclude families from sending their children to international schools. Many foreign families, especially long-term residents, struggle to find a viable school option for their children because the only two options available to them are Japanese schools or mainstream international schools. Japanese schools, while being very affordable, are not always a viable option for foreign families who prefer to give their children an education that expands beyond the boundaries of Japan. Historically, most international schools available in Japan have largely catered to the ex-pat community supported by companies that offered generous school allowances. However, the notion of a "privileged ex-pat life" as we know it has changed significantly in the past five years. An increasing number of foreign families now pay for their children’s education without the assistance of their employer. UST strongly believes that access to a good education should be a right, not a privilege. Families in Japan should have viable options of schools and educational systems available to choose from, without having it become a financial burden. This choice becomes especially important for international families that are raising their children in Japan, away from their countries, their extended families, and support systems. At UST, we truly understand the challenges of raising a family under these conditions. We have gone through the very same experiences first hand and that is how the idea of uniting families and educators to build a school that serves this very community was born. At UST, we feel the purpose of education is not only to ingrain basic skills required for participation in modern society but also an avenue to allow a child to develop in a multitude of facets. Education can encourage students to become positively contributing members within an ever-expanding global environment. A need for increasing ingenuity and creative problem-solving skills has never been more prevalent in the world market more than now. We believe it is important to start the development of these skills as early as possible to provide the greatest chance of success in later life. As part of UST’s Experiential Learning approach, we like to take learning out of the classroom and expose our students to a progression of age-appropriate experiences to help them take ownership of their learning, develop confidence in their physical abilities and build confidence in themselves in their relationships with others. Outdoor education offers opportunities for children to enjoy the first-hand experience outdoors, whether in urban green spaces in Tokyo or Japan's countryside. Some examples UST outdoor education program include building teamwork and interacting with the nature of an overnight ski trip or camping trip learning science through gardening or going insect and bird watching researching a social studies project on a field trip doing art sketches in the park or having a math class while using fallen leaves or acorns as manipulatives learning about social responsibility and environmental preservation by going on neighborhood clean-ups learning about compassion and making a difference by preparing rice balls for homeless people … the possibilities of active learning outside of the classroom are endless. Creativity is often utilized in the arts, where the notion of a “right” answer can be disputed with justification. The arts tend to promote the higher cognitive domains: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The visual, performing, and writing arts help students to develop their ideas through active thinking and problem-solving. Each step in these areas requires a student to analyze not only what he or she is doing currently, but the previous steps taken as well as future steps. UST applies these steps in the thinking process so that they can be applied to subjects outside of the arts. At UST children are encouraged to cooperate, collaborate and brainstorm, work in groups to come up with the best solution, as well as to support each other. One of the most important features of collaboration is that it not only creates more holistic results than individual work, but it also creates knowledge for a greater number of people. Collaboration in an international school setting becomes even more powerful as it brings culturally diverse perspectives into learning. Finally, we feel that a school should provide a safe place for children to take chances. That means a child should not be afraid of failure but should look for the opportunities in it. Oftentimes, students are afraid to take chances for fear of being wrong and this inhibits their learning as well as their self-development. Students need to learn when they do not accomplish a task how to reevaluate concepts that they might have had and build on them. When learning occurs in any form, there is no real failure at UST. UST provides a safe environment for social and academic growth on an individual level! View full school

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. Life at our residential school can be demanding and truly transformational. Living in rooms of 2, 3, or 4 students in one of our 7 residences scattered throughout the village, co-curricular life is at the heart of the UWC Adriatic experience, with a particular emphasis on service to others. Eighty percent of our students are non-native English speakers yet all study towards the full International Baccalaureate diploma in English. All students also study Italian. With all our teachers living in the village as well and acting as personal and residence tutors, we are a very tight-knit community. UWC aims to use education as a force to unite people. United World Colleges is a unique organization. It is the only global educational NGO that brings students together from all over the world, selected from within their own countries on merit and regardless of their ability to pay. These students come together at one of 17 United World Colleges that aims to foster international understanding, peace, and sustainability. UWC Adriatic brings highly motivated young students from all parts of the world so they can live and learn together. Our objective is to help students become active, involved, and educated citizens whose attitudes towards understanding and community service will be a powerful catalyst for change. Through the students, as representatives of their countries, we hope to influence their wider communities to become more understanding, compassionate, and peaceful. In short, we aim to create a better world through education. UWC Adriatic welcomes young people at the threshold of adult independence and guides them on the way to being compassionate and conscientious individuals with the energy and understanding to work for positive change. Experiences gained within a diverse multicultural community in an Italian region at the crossroads of cultural, political, historical, and geographical transitions are used to stimulate personal reflection and growth. The UWC educational model provides a common framework within which all UWC schools and colleges operate. It does not set down a curriculum but focuses on what is unique about UWC’s approach to education. Diversity is at the center of the experience of every student in every college: at UWC diversity extends to differences in socioeconomic background, culture, race, and religion as well as nationality. That means our students benefit from learning in a diverse environment that helps to broaden the mind and sense of self, and where students gain a globally recognized pre-university qualification that will prepare them to take leading roles in an increasingly complex world.

The United States Sports Academy was the first and is the only one in the United States.

Today, coaches everywhere can prepare thoroughly for their work. Through sports-focused instruction, support of research, and teamwork with professional groups like the National Federation of State High School Associations, the Academy showed how to meet sports professionals' educational needs.

It was clear that the best means of addressing this situation was through education. So the initial impetus for the creation of the Academy came from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). These professional sports administrators and coaches whose backgrounds also included working in an educational environment played an instrumental role in developing the Academy's curriculum. Thus the Academy almost half a century ago became the first and only free-standing, accredited school of sport in America, a distinction that continues to this day. The curriculum and degree offerings of the Academy include the Bachelor of Sports Science (B.S.S.) in four disciplines, Master of Sports Science (M.S.S.) in five disciplines, and Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Sports Management.

The United States Merchant Marine Academy is a federal service academy that educates and graduates leaders of exemplary character who are inspired to serve the national security, marine transportation, and economic needs of the United States as licensed Merchant Marine Officers commissioned officers in the Armed Forces. With 95 percent of the world's products transported over water, these leaders are vital to our merchant fleet's effective operation for both commercial and military transport during war and peace. Academy graduates abide by the motto "Acta Non-Verba" - deeds not words, and are leaders that exemplify the concept of service above self. Known for its rigorous academic program, USMMA requires more credit hours for a baccalaureate degree than any other Federal service academy. This challenging coursework is augmented by the Academy's Sea year experience, allowing midshipmen to acquire hands-on, real-world experiences aboard working commercial vessels sailing to ports worldwide. For this reason, Academy graduates are highly sought after as officers in the military and the merchant marine. This merchant fleet of efficient and productive commercial ships owned by U.S. companies and registered and operated under the American flag forms an essential part of our domestic and international transportation system. U.S. Merchant Marine graduates play a vital role in this industry, vital to America's economy and continued prosperity. In a time of war or national emergency, the U.S. Merchant Marine becomes vital to national security as a "fourth arm of defense." Our merchant ships bear the brunt of delivering military troops, supplies, and equipment overseas to our forces and allies operating as an auxiliary unit to the Navy. The stark lessons of the twenty-first-century conflicts again prove that a healthy merchant marine is an essential part of American security and sea power. The nation's economic and security needs met by the U.S. Merchant Marine are compelling. Today, the United States imports approximately 85 percent of some 77 strategic commodities critical to America's industry and defense. Although we, as a nation, account for only six percent of the world population, we purchase nearly a third of the world's raw materials output. Ninety-nine percent of these materials are transported by merchant's vessels. But the most crucial element in a productive merchant fleet and strong transportation industry is people - men and women who can lead with integrity, honor, intelligence, dedication, and competence. The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy ensures that such people are available to the nation as shipboard officers and as leaders in the transportation field who will meet the present and future challenges. Our mission is "To educate and graduate leaders of exemplary character who are inspired to serve the national security, marine transportation, and economic needs of the United States as licensed Merchant Marine Officers and commissioned officers in the Armed Forces." A United States Merchant Marine Academy education is one of the great adventures of a lifetime. For half a century, young individuals like you have come to Kings Point to acquire the knowledge, experience, discipline, and skills that strong leadership demands. Graduates of the United States Merchant Marine Academy serve their country by pursuing highly successful careers in the maritime industry and the armed services. After fulfilling their obligation, many continue their studies in graduate or professional schools. Many become outstanding government and business leaders. The direction you take after you graduate will be up to you. However, two things are certain: You'll have choices, and you will be prepared to make the most of them. While getting here may not be easy, it will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your lifetime. Whether you're learning about us for the first time, deciding whether to attend, looking for additional information, or mentally preparing yourself for the challenges and rewards of a Kings Point education, we've done our best to bring together the information you need for the journey. Welcome, and good luck. It is the Financial Aid Office's goal to ensure that all students who are accepted to the Academy can attend, regardless of financial need. Midshipmen attending the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) receive their full tuition, room and board, uniforms, and books at no cost from the Federal Government. The Academy's four-year program centers on a regimental system that instills its students - called midshipmen (a term used for both men and women) - with the traits of leadership, discipline, and dedication required for a career that typically may include service at sea, maritime employment ashore, and serving as a commissioned officer in a reserve component of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Academy's Regiment of Midshipmen numbers approximately 950 young men and women who represent every state of the Union as well as U.S. Trust Territories and Possessions. The student body's size contributes to a real sense of camaraderie among the members of the Regiment and permits the Academy to maintain an excellent student-teacher ratio. A sound college education is a foundation for every profession in our society, and the mariner's profession is no exception. The Middle States Commission accredits the academic curriculum at the Academy on Higher Education. It provides each midshipman with the broad college education required for a bachelor of science degree, specialized training for licensing as a marine merchant officer, and the military knowledge for commissioning in a reserve component of the Armed Forces. Few colleges can offer such a full range of credentials at graduation. View full university

Achieving this balance is one of the most unique and critical contributions of the Air Force Academy to the officer corps. No other commissioning source can create the collaborative blending of rigorous academics, military training, character and leadership development, and competitive athletics than what defines the four-year experience cadets have at the Air Force Academy. Nowhere is the Academy’s commitment more evident than in the Core Curriculum, which all cadets are required to complete. As part of the Core, all cadets, regardless of academic major, complete 29 Dean of Faculty courses across a variety of academic disciplines while also engaging in military training programs, participating in seminars and symposia offered by our Center for Character and Leadership Development, and completing required Physical Education courses offered by our Director of Athletics. Importantly, these diverse programs are purposefully integrated to create a one-of-a-kind four-year experience that prepares our cadets to serve as commissioned officers in the greatest Air Force in the world. There are two libraries in the United States Air Force Academy Library (DFLIB) system that support faculty and staff, cadets, and other patrons of the Academy—McDermott Library and the Base Library. There are many cutting-edge learning centers, historical relics, and outdoor retreats to explore at the United States Air Force Academy. Each contributes to the unique experiences had by our visitors, cadets, faculty, and more. Visit our renowned, all-faiths Cadet Chapel, with its towering spires reaching 150 feet in the air, or sneak a peek at Polaris Hall, home to our new Center for Character and Leadership Development. Head over to Falcon Stadium to catch a game or attend a STEM outreach event at one of our 19 research centers. Whether you are here as a visitor, cadet, or staff member, one thing is sure, the Academy experience—decades in the making—is unlike any other. Research is a staple of our educational program, with increasingly diverse interdisciplinary programs encompassing more than 20 research centers and institutes. The research significantly enhances the cadet learning experience by providing rich, independent learning opportunities and fostering the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed as leaders in the Air Force and beyond. The United States Air Force Academy is the No. 1 funded undergraduate research institution in the country, according to a survey conducted by the National Science Foundation. Also, Forbes recently named the Academy the No. 5 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) school. Our research program is fueled by partnerships, with 19 centers and two institutes, cadets, faculty, and industry all working together to benefit tomorrow’s, Air Force. As aviation advanced after the Wright Brothers’ first flight, the Nation’s military aviation service followed a constantly growing lineage from 1907 to 1947. Officials discussed establishing an aeronautical academy for decades, and when the Air Force became a separate service in 1947 under the National Security Act, plans for an Air Force Academy officially got underway.

NJUCA is dedicated to educating our grades 6-12 students in fundamental biblical principles accompanying a solid academic foundation. We offer a variety of programs and activities to equip young men and women as future leaders. United Christian Academy opened its doors in September 2003 with 27 students and four full-time staff members. During that first year, the students and the staff prayed for the future of the school and a new building. God abruptly answered their prayers when the US Postal Service "is" delivered a piece of mail. Since that miraculous start, New Jersey United Christian Academy has been offering a strong academic program, establishing Biblical Christian values, and training students to become leaders. In our second decade, NJUCA continues to actively inspire students to live vivid Christian lives while bringing together local and international communities of Believers with a unique focus on teen Christian leadership.

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is proud to educate leaders of a multi-mission, maritime military force. Commissioned officers in the Coast Guard lead teams of men and women and are continually called on to serve their community, country, and fellow citizens. While the United States Coast Guard is notable as the oldest life-saving service in the world, its roles include more than just maritime safety and security. The Coast Guard is also called upon for critical service in protecting natural resources, maritime mobility (management of maritime traffic, commerce, and navigation), and national defense. At our beautiful campus on the Thames River in New London, Connecticut, the Academy, which is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, provides a four-year Bachelor of Science degree program with a full scholarship. Each year, approximately 200 ensigns (or junior officers) are commissioned during graduation exercises in May. Following graduation, newly commissioned ensigns report for duty aboard cutters and at sector offices in ports nationwide. Graduates of the Academy are obligated to serve five years in the U.S. Coast Guard, though many choose to stay and make a rewarding, life-long career of their maritime military service.
