Case Study: UWC Maastricht strengthens student safety and accountability with Orah

UWC Maastricht strengthens safety for 200 students with Orah

UWC Maastricht, an international boarding school in the Netherlands, needed a robust system to manage the safety and whereabouts of its 200 boarding students from nearly 100 diverse nationalities. The school faced unique challenges in coordinating care and obtaining parental approvals, especially for students from backgrounds with limited internet access or non-English speaking guardians. They turned to the vendor Orah to implement its student life platform for essential functions like check-ins and pass management.

By implementing Orah, the school established a system for real-time nightly check-ins and seamless handling of weekend passes, which students could now submit independently. This solution provided staff with immediate peace of mind regarding student location and safety, while also reducing administrative friction. Orah gave the residential life team a flexible yet robust tool to discreetly track student whereabouts and provide pastoral care, allowing them to focus on student wellbeing without interfering in the academic space.
