Rektor
Our Rektor Dr. Helen White has been with UWC Robert Bosch College since its foundation in 2014. A Doctor of Marine Biology from Britain with extensive experience in boarding school education, Kurt Hahnian philosophy and conservation work, she was the school’s Director of Student Life and Vice Rektor from 2014 to 2024, as well as a teacher of Biology and ESS, a House Tutor and a Personal Tutor. In August 2024, she took over the leadership from founding Rektor Laurence Nodder.
Dr. White’s previous appointments include the role of Vice Rettore and Director of Student Life at UWC Adriatic in Duino (Italy) as well as House Tutor and CAS Coordinator at Kurt Hahn’s first school, Salem (Germany), where she co-introduced the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.
Dr. Christof Bosch, Chair of the RBC Board, says: “In September 2014, UWC Robert Bosch College was founded on the occasion of my grandfather’s 150th birthday, with the goal to equip young people with tools and skills to create a peaceful and sustainable world. The UWC mission is more relevant than ever! Dr. Helen White’s background makes her an outstanding person to continue to take forward the realization of the UWC mission at RBC. I look forward to continuing working with her.”
Inspiration
“UWC encompasses everything I value and strive towards in teaching students about life. All my previous experiences, my skills, and my passions – they match the UWC mission. And like my predecessor Laurence Nodder, I believe that trust is the glue that holds a community together.”
