The Duke of Edinburgh's Award As the only registered centre for the provision of The Duke of Edinburgh International Award in Uzbekistan, we'd like to commemorate HRH Prince Philip's lifelong legacy of service and dedication, by reflecting on how our students have developed independence, resilience and perseverance through the Award challenge which pushes for their personal limits and achievements.

As the only registered centre for the provision of The Duke of Edinburgh International Award in Uzbekistan,  we'd like to commemorate HRH Prince Philip's lifelong legacy of service and dedication, by reflecting on how our students have developed independence, resilience and perseverance through the Award challenge which pushes for their personal limits and achievements.

Not all learning happens in the classroom. Our students each year take on the challenge of The Duke of Edinburgh International Award and choose to complete either theirBronze (Year 10), Silver (Year 11) or Gold Award (Year 12/13).

The Award is available to all young people aged 14-24 years and is the world’s leading youth achievement award. It equips young people for life regardless of their background, culture, physical ability, skills and interests. Doing the Award is a personal challenge and not a competition against others; it pushes young people to their limits and recognises their achievements.

The award comprises of four areas:

  • Service
  • Skill
  • Physical
  • Adventurous Journey

All participants are required to learn a new skill, provide a service to their community and develop an area of personal physical recreation. At gold level, participants also have to complete a residential project where they stay away from home and undertake a new experience such as learning how to cook, working at the National Trust in the UK or learning a foreign language.

In addition to this, students  take part in both a practice and qualifying expedition in the great outdoors. The Award allows students to develop their independence, resilience and perseverance over at least one year for Bronze and more for Silver and Gold.
