In 2006, the "Colegio Internacional SOS Hermann Gmeiner," in Santa Ana, Costa Rica, re-opened as the United World College of Costa Rica, becoming the 11th United World College and the only UWC in Latin America and the Caribbean. Although no longer operating under the auspices of the SOS Children's Villages, the college continues to have a relationship with the organization, including a program of full scholarships for SOS Village students, with more than 50 SOS Village students having attended and graduated from the school.
