Mission
UWC Dilijan is a community working towards a more peaceful, equitable and sustainable world through a balanced, challenging and transforming education with people from diverse backgrounds.
The mission of the UWC movement and of the school is to "make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future".
The college aims to be an integral part of Dilijan and to have positive personal, local and global impact.
Governance

The college officially opened on 11 October 2014 for the 2014-2015 academic year, in the presence of the president of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, the president of Serbia Tomislav Nikolić, Catholicos Karekin II of Armenia and Patriarch Mar Ignatius Aphrem II of the Syrian Orthodox Church.
Students
On 28 May 2016, the first graduates of UWC Dilijan, 96 students from around 48 nations worldwide, completed two years of schooling and took part in the inaugural graduation ceremony.
In the academic year 2017-18 UWC Dilijan became home to 213 students from 82 countries.
