School Overview

Founded in 1872, The Dwight School is a PreK-12 private international school located on Manhattan's Upper West Side. In 1996, Dwight became the first school in North America to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) program from kindergarten through grade 12. With the opening of Woodside Preschool in the fall of 2005, Dwight became the first school to offer the IB Primary Years Program for children ages 2-4. Dwight's rigorous IB program and world-class faculty prepare a future generation of well-educated and ethical global leaders who will seek to create an environment of equality and respect for all human beings. The School believes and expects that its students will one day use their unique "spark of genius" to build a better world. Dwight School vibrates with adventure, wonder, energy and the mysteries of our world. Our mantras are to dare to dream, to have the courage to take intellectual risks, and to build leaders through action.
