Academics – International Baccalaureate Program[edit]
In 1996, Dwight became the second school in North America to offer all three International Baccalaureate (IB) Programs: the IB Primary Years Program, for students grades 3 to 12; the IB Middle Years Program, for students in grades 6–10; and the IB Diploma Program, for students in grades 11–12. A Certificate Program is available to students who do not wish to pursue the full IB Diploma Program and instead take some elective courses. Approximately half the graduating seniors receive the full IB diploma.
