Every year, 20,000 gallons of rainwater are caught and used for campus gardening efforts.
Our soccer team plays 12 offcampus games per year against local club and university teams. The 18 team members practice three to four times per week and play friendly games on campus almost every Friday.
Artists and Athletes If you are an accomplished pianist, an all-star soccer player, an award-winning artist, or an amateur dancer, actor, or singer, you will find plenty of ways to express yourself at UWC-USA.
Beyond the classroom, there are dozens of opportunities to perform. Students create skits, perform original songs, and choreograph dances all year. You don’t have to be an expert to participate.

As with the arts, students must satisfy a physical education requirement to earn their IB Diploma. The Edith Lansing Field House offers squash courts, a weight room, a climbing wall, and an indoor gymnasium where student teams play soccer, volleyball, and basketball. The school also sponsors a competitive soccer team, which travels throughout New Mexico to participate in tournaments.
Art is one of the six subject areas for the IB Diploma, which means almost every student takes at least one art class. We believe art is as important as math: Creativity fosters problem-solving, analytical thinking, and communication—core skills we believe every individual needs for long-term success. Students have learned skills in jewelrymaking, blacksmithing, ceramics, and more. At UWC-USA, it’s not uncommon to uncover a new talent.
