Dwight School London prepares young people to become leaders in the world. Students of the school are successfully enrolled in a program based on three pillars of education: the first is an individual approach to learning, the second is a commitment to a centuries-old community, and the third is a global vision.

In kindergarten, every day the child will study and get a lot of impressions, following his interests. During the day, children can engage and explore the world by playing not only indoors: being introduced to nature is an integral part of learning. After lunch, the children continue their studies in a more comfortable environment, where everyone can develop their interests and skills.

Senior and secondary schools include basic subjects: English, Mathematics, Social and Science, Languages and Arts. Students choose subjects that they will study at a deep level and write a research paper. The educational process includes not only classroom study, but also the use of the latest technologies in teaching.

The school has a rich history and today is one of the best schools in the world to offer education in the IB program.

Dwight London offers only full-time education, but students have the option of living in a rented apartment. Individual apartments are the most expensive accommodation option, but provide more space and privacy. The cost of living for such accommodation starts from £24,000 per academic year.

At the same time, the school provides a service for transporting students by school bus from home to school: children living in pre-agreed areas with the school are picked up every morning and brought home after school by the school bus.

Dwight School London offers a rich extracurricular life for students, including sports and cultural events, clubs and organizations that help develop students' interests and talents. The school has the opportunity to engage in music, theater, art, sports, scientific and technological research, participate in educational and cultural trips.

In the junior school, after-school clubs are held from 15:50 to 16:40, open during the week from Monday to Friday, with the exception of holidays. A child can enroll in no more than one club per day.
