United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA) celebrated the groundbreaking of its second campus on 17 June 2009. Located in Tampines, the purpose-built campus, set to open in August 2010, will cater to 2,500 students from Kindergarten 1 - Grade 12 by 2015.

The new campus includes comprehensive and innovative measures aimed at achieving the Greenmark Platinum award, the highest green building rating available from Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA). The new campus will also be used as a hands-on teaching tool for environmental education. Such initiatives will contribute significantly to Singapore’s clean and green efforts.

UWCSEA plans to give out two scholarships a year to Singaporean students so they can join the institution next year. This will help the school to be fully integrated with the community.
