Boundless opportunities await Dwight graduates in their ongoing educational and career journeys!
The Dwight College Counseling team sees the college process as an exciting element of the Dwight educational experience, in which students learn first and foremost about themselves, develop their “sparks of genius,” and discover new sparks, too. Dwight students also learn about the infinite possibilities for further study and exploration anywhere they envision themselves growing, learning, and contributing to their families, communities, and the larger world.
