UWC Atlantic College (formerly the United World College of the Atlantic), also known as Atlantic College, is an international I.B. Diploma Programme independent (private) residential Sixth Form College in the United Kingdom.

International School founded by German educationalist Kurt Hahn in 1962. The school occupies the 15th century Saint Donat's castle which was built by the de Stradling family. During the 1920's it was owned by William Randolph Hearst, an American newspaper magnate, who used it as a place to conduct his affair with Marion Davies. Hearst undertook substantial modifications, and much of the present structure has been 'imported' from other buildings around the United Kingdom. Notably, the impressive carved-wood dining hall originated in Boston Cathedral. The school accepts approximately 250 students from more than 70 countries, based on merit, and the vast majority attend on scholarship.
