These appointments will only take place over Zoom. This is an opportunity for students and parents to ask questions and learn more about Dwight’s curriculum and programs.
Additionally, applicants interested in our learning support program, Quest, will be required to schedule a virtual assessment with a Quest faculty member in the fall.
