Lester B. Pearson College

Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Pacific is one of thirteen United World Colleges (UWC) around the world. It is named after the late Canadian Prime Minister Lester Bowles Pearson, winner of the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize. The mission of the College is to promote peace, sustainability and international understanding by bringing young people from all walks of life, regardless of financial ability, together in a small and isolated village-like community. 200 students from 100 countries come together to share their lives as they finish their high school education. Many alumni are leaders in human rights, international development, business, law, science and other fields. Students at the College are eligible, after graduation, to participate in the Shelby Davis Scholarship programme, which funds undergraduate study, based on need, for UWC students at universities, such as Princeton University, Colby College, Columbia University, College of the Atlantic, Harvard University, Dartmouth College, Carleton College, and Middlebury College in the United States. The director of the College as of 2006 is David Hawley, a graduate of Harvard University.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
