Innovation: Students may participate in our Spark Tank incubator program, to take their novel ideas with real-world application into the marketplace. 

Community: Dwight Global is based on relationships. Our structure and use of technology support these crucial relationships at every turn. Each student is a member of a middle school advisory group, which meets weekly with a faculty mentor to discuss a wide variety of topics.

Curriculum: In addition to challenging classes, all Middle School students participate in a Research and Debate program led by the Head of Middle School. 

Global Vision: Middle School students have the opportunity to travel abroad to many of our Dwight School campuses and interact with their peers across the globe.

Languages: Students may study Spanish, French, or Mandarin. Additional language offerings and Mother Tongue language classes are available upon request.

We offer a range of exciting classes led by experts in online education to meet the needs of middle school students. Our elective course offerings serve curious students’ interests and include Research and Debate and Computer Science. Our curriculum is designated to foster the education of open-minded and critical thinkers.

Our middle school provides students with a solid foundation for future study. We use a blended, flipped, synchronous seminar approach with a college-style class schedule.

Synchronous classes are held in real time via virtual, video-based classrooms. Asynchronous course components include recorded lectures and seminars and other pre-existing materials available on demand.

The model is flipped because we expect students to watch assigned lectures before they come to class, allowing seminar time to be used for active discussion.

Middle school courses meet 2-3 times per week, rather than every day, modeled after college-style schedules. All seminars are recorded for later viewing. 

Students also have a full suite of complementary off-line work, including readings, writing papers, solving problem sets, and completing labs and projects. Any student requiring additional support can participate in Oxford-style tutorials with their instructors. 

Classes are taught in an atmosphere of collegial engagement and designed to be relevant and timely, drawing on real-life examples with a global perspective.

They are led by highly talented instructors with expertise in both teaching online and engaging with middle school students.
