Dwight School, London
Dwight School was one of the first schools in the UK to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) local and international students aged from 3 to 18 and it is currently the UK’s only school recognized as an Open World School able to support older students in accessing IB Diploma courses online.
Dwight School was founded in 1872 as part of the Sachs Collegiate Institute by Julius Sachs and was initially known as "The Sachs School," then The Franklin School. Dwight now has a third of its pupils from other countries.
There are four co-educational divisions at Dwight School: The Riverside Campus (preschool-kindergarten) occupies three buildings on Riverside Boulevard between 66th–68th Streets.
Dwight School admits only a small number of students each year. Dwight's major entrance points are kindergarten, sixth grade, and ninth grade, with forty pupils entering kindergarten, fifteen entering sixth grade, and twenty-five entering ninth grade. In other grades, a lesser number of pupils are accepted each year. Due to the broad variety of academic calendars throughout the world, Dwight provides rolling admissions to overseas families. School reports, teacher recommendations, ERB/ISEE test results, and student/parent interviews are all used in the admissions process at Dwight School.
