Global Vision
Dwight School’s commitment to the International Baccalaureate Programmes ensures each child’s personal development is shaped by the IB Learner Profile which fosters leadership, initiative and service learning. Students are inspired and educated to make a positive difference to their school, to their communities and to the world. Authentic local and global community projects nurture awareness and empathy to support the IB Learner Profile attributes. We seek to strengthen the relationships between home and school, and relationships within the school, to maintain an open, welcoming and supportive community.
Dwight School London serves a diverse community of students from all over the world, and the International Baccalaureate Programmes provide challenges and opportunities that emphasise intercultural awareness while encouraging students to become global thinkers and thus global citizens. We encourage students to see challenges and opportunities from a global perspective. Our school literally extends into other regions of the world through the range of cultures and experiences of our students, and the global network of schools.
The International Baccalaureate Mission Statement The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organisation works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. www.ibo.org

Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12
Curriculum The guiding principles of the curriculum implemented at Dwight London are: •
Students should develop a holistic attitude to knowledge; they should see the subjects they learn as an integrated whole.
• Students’ own cultural experiences and backgrounds, and those of our diverse teaching staff, are a valuable learning resource; we encourage understanding through intercultural awareness. •
The ability to express ideas both reflects and deepens understanding; students’ communication skills are central to their learning.
These principles are best met through the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum.
ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
We have gained a reputation as one of few international schools in the UK authorised to offer the IB Primary Years Programme (IBPYP); IB Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) and the prestigious IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).
16
The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally-minded people who, recognising their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. This is achieved through the IB Learner Profile - ten attributes that are thought to develop internationally-minded global citizens. As well as serving a community of students from all over the world, the heart of the International Baccalaureate programme places an emphasis on global themes and perspectives, encouraging the development of internationally-minded global citizens. Our classrooms can literally extend into other regions of the world through our partnerships with The Dwight Schools in New York, Seoul, Shanghai and Dubai. Our global network and our London location, in one of the world’s most exciting and vibrant cities, offer students unique opportunities to experience the world through school visits, exchange programmes, and collaborative projects. The IB focuses on how students learn as much as what they learn and therefore utilises the Approaches to Learning (ATL). The ATL skills in an IB context are thinking skills, communication skills, research skills, social skills and self-management skills. These skills are incorporated and taught through all the IB disciplines and in age-appropriate ways at all levels of the IB programmes. The IB Programmes are rigorous academic programmes that require regular assessment to enable us to measure and track our students’ progress through the IB Programmes. In addition to the on-going formative and summative assessment tasks that all students complete, we use other recognised tools to assess progress and attainment. In the Lower School this is completed through the use of the NFER (National Foundation for Educational Research) Tests, and in the Upper School, students take CATs (Cognitive Ability Tests). These assessments are used so that the school can benchmark Dwight students’ levels against UK national norms and to inform our planning. An attraction for many of our globally-mobile families is that the the worldwide network of IB schools ensures that the children have the option of continuing their IB education if the family has to relocate.
IB Learner Profile
INQUIRERS We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life.
OPEN-MINDED We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience.
KNOWLEDGEABLE We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.
CARING We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.
THINKERS We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We exercise initiative in making reasoned, ethical decisions. COMMUNICATORS We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups. PRINCIPLED We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.
RISK-TAKERS We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change. BALANCED We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives - intellectual, physical, and emotional - to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live. REFLECTIVE We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.

Thanks to the IB I am able to balance my work and social life, stay calm under stress, and apply different perspectives to situations. I am also confident when presenting in front of a class because of the number of presentations the IB requires of you. Dwight has helped prepare me for the independent learning required at university, such as taking initiative and responsibility during independent and group projects. Dwight's international environment has also been beneficial in giving me a well-rounded education. Dwight Alumna, Class of 2017

I feel so prepared and confident in all my university classes. The IB helped me to become an analytical and critical thinker, shaping me into a reflective and openminded learner. The realisation that I've been able to pass and do well in such a rigourous programme, has given me a lot of confidence for my future studies and any other challenges coming my way. But the most precious qualities that I subconsciously adopted while studying IB are creativity and optimism - finding a 'sparkle' and a bit of me in every task made everything much better and easier. Dwight Alumna, Class of 2018
Our IB Primary Years Programme (IBPYP)
ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
The IB Primary Years Programme is a framework that focuses on a holistic curriculum driven by the students’ own curiosity, in and out of school. It is designed to develop the students’ academic understanding using traditional disciplines – language, mathematics, science, social sciences, technology, the arts and additional language (French from age 3, with Spanish added from Year 5) – but taught in a child-friendly manner. The IB draws on local and global perspectives and while the children are given daily lessons in numeracy and literacy, the rest of the subjects are taught through six broad and balanced transdisciplinary linked topics (Units of Inquiry). Much of what they learn in maths and language is applied to real-life authentic contexts through the Units of Inquiry. Through the IB Learner Profile, the IBPYP also focuses on developing international-mindedness and encourages children to consider their behaviour and personal values. The programme is supported by student inquiry and is aimed at developing independent learning and research skills where students take more and more responsibility for their own learning. The IBPYP is designed to prepare students for the IB Middle Years Programme that follows, or to give students the knowledge, skills and confidence to transition to other educational systems when it is time to move on.

English as an Additional Language
ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
Students who need additional English language support to successfully access our IB Programmes are required to participate in our English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme taught by qualified specialist teachers who work in liaison with the mainstream subject teachers. This normally starts in Year 1 and is available up to and including M5. English proficiency is assessed through a variety of methods including writing samples, conversations and assessment tests to measure verbal and written comprehension and to determine the level of support required either out of class or within the lesson. Clear exit criteria are used to determine when the child no longer requires the EAL support. Participation in our EAL programme incurs an additional fee.

Additional Learning Support
The Quest Programme, with its specialists, is an integral part of the school community and is a resource for all teachers and parents. Clear exit criteria which is shared with the family are used to determine when the student no longer requires the services of the Quest Programme. The Quest Programme will remain in place for as long as is required. Participation in the Quest Programme incurs an additional fee.
ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
As an inclusive IB World School, we accept students with a wide range of abilities, subject to space, class balance, and on the understanding that some students will be required to participate in our Quest Programme for the provision of additional learning support. The aim of the Quest Programme is to equip students with the skills necessary to successfully and independently access the rigorous IB programmes in a mainstream setting. Admission to the programme is sometimes made on the basis of recommendation of teachers and assessment by the SENCO, IEPs and ECHPs and other specialist reports. (External assessments must be paid for by the families.) Through Quest students receive one-to-one or small group tuition from trained staff in skills such as reading and writing, maths, organisational skills, speech and language and occupational therapy.

Such support may include: • The provision of mother tongue classes within the curriculum • Providing parents with information regarding the different mother-tongue programmes available locally • Recognising and celebrating the various mother tongue languages within the school • Extending mother-tongue resources in the library • Providing bilingual dictionaries in the EAL department for those students whose mother tongue is not English. • Mother tongue clubs and activities The provision of mother tongue language support may incur an additional fee.
ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
Forest School
28
In our Lower School we offer a weekly Forest School session for our students from Kindergarten through to Year 3, delivered by our teacher who is a qualified Forest School practitioner, in a forest setting which is a short bus journey from our school. Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers all learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment. This adopts a child-centred and child-led approach that aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, caring children who become resillient problem solvers who are motivated to have an impact on our global and local communities. Through the use of an outdoor environment we build children’s confidence, self awareness and self regulation to enable them to collaborate and show empathy for others in order to become successful learners.
Residential and Day Trips We believe that experiences beyond the classroom enrich the learning experience for our students and there is no better way to understand learning than when they are able to see, hear and experience a moment for themselves. Our students participate in field trips from Kindergarten all the way through to D2 (Year 13). They experience a wide-range of trips, exploring many different environments and learning opportunities. These trips are individually planned by our experienced and passionate staff to complement learning in the classroom. They vary from year-to-year depending on where the teachers and the students choose to take their learning.
From Year 3, students also participate in different residential experiences. In the Lower School the residential trips usually take place during a week in March which allows our younger students time to settle in to school and become more independent. As students move through the school, the residential trips build upon their independence by increasing the amount of time and distance away from home, preparing them perfectly for the longer Retreat trips in our Upper School. Our Upper School Retreat trips take place at the start of the academic year and serve as part of the transition programme. Their prime purpose is for students to bond with their peers, new and old, in an outdoor, residential and challenging environment. Equally the students build relationships with their tutors and teachers at the start of the year which prepares them for the year of learning ahead. Add to that the elements of physical activity, the opportunities for learning vital skills and an immersion in English and it’s the best way for our older students to start the academic year! More information regarding our trips can be found in our trips booklet.
