Our vision

To foster the next generation of global leaders who can thrive anywhere in the world.

OUR THREE PILLARS

Personalised Learning

We embrace the individuality of each learner, as no two students are the same, and we support their journeys through a robust academic curriculum and after-school programmes. We make it a priority to focus on and develop each child’s spark of genius, whether through connecting them with an exceptional mentor, providing an innovative programme or tutorial, or offering unique opportunities that nurture their curiosity, creativity and confidence.

Global Vision

Our mission, vision, and pillars extend globally across our network of schools and is supported by the International Baccalaureate ethos. Students develop a sense of themselves, as well as the world around them. Dwight opens students’ hearts and minds through challenges and opportunities, inviting students to build bridges within and between cultures.

Community

Our community is a family of diverse individuals whose collective goal is to build a better world. The power of our learning environment is enhanced by connecting and valuing the different contributions and talents of all members. Through unlimited service, leadership, programmatic, and scholarship opportunities, we inspire students to find their own unique paths to action.

Diversity
Statement

Dwight values an inclusive, diverse community enriched by a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

We welcome families who embrace the challenges and rewards of diversity and commit to working in partnership with the school. Our global mindset and ongoing commitment to inclusion shape a community of students, families, faculty, staff, and alumni — all contributing to the vibrant tapestry of Dwight School Dubai.

Global-Mindedness
