Mission
The mission of The Dwight School in China is diplomacy through education. Its goal is to graduate truly global citizens with a deep appreciation for their shared humanity by building cultural bridges of understanding through premier quality education, philosophy and sports for students in the People’s Republic of China followed by admission into colleges and universities in the United States of America and internationally. The Dwight School in China is a subsidiary of The Dwight School, an international school chartered and existing under the laws of the State of New York dating from 1872 located in New York City, on Manhattan’s Central Park.
Program
The Dwight School in China is a joint diploma program. Each student receives a diploma from their Chinese school, centered on the study of their cultural heritage and those courses required to satisfy Chinese national educational requirements. Each student also receives a Dwight diploma based on concurrent study of an International Baccalaureate [IB] curriculum, a U.S./Advanced Placement [US/AP] curriculum, or an IB-US/AP curriculum with strong emphasis on English as a Second Language. Each student is supported by Dwight’s college guidance and admissions team. The Dwight School in China also offers student and teacher exchanges, teacher mentoring and training, distance learning, extracurricular activities, and sports in tandem with Chinese partner schools.
Resources
The Dwight School in China’s strength is its ability to draw on the knowledge and experience of faculty and staff of The Dwight School and support from other international schools in the IB system. We also have talents within The Dwight School in China’s Advisory Board: Blake Spahn, founder of the first pre-K IB school in the U.S.; Jerry Salvador, Dean of Pearson College in British Columbia, Canada; David Rose, the Headmaster of the North London International School in the U.K.; and Graham Brown, Assistant Professor, Singapore Management University.
