Join us at Dwight's Lower School Campus (94th Street) for an in-depth look at our renowned International Baccalaureate program and how it prepares children — academically and socially — to navigate a global world.

You'll meet our leadership team, speak with current parents, and interact with students, while learning about Dwight's international community, curriculum, student-centered approach, and character-building model. The visit includes a campus tour.

Register via Ravenna to reserve your spot.

Please schedule your in-person student assessment and parent interview via Ravenna. While the student completes their assessment, the parent will participate in a separate interview. The assessment and interview will take place simultaneously and will last approximately 45 minutes.

School Report Requirements:

• Grade 1: The most recent school report
• Grades 2-4: A previous and current school report

Confidential Teacher Recommendation Form:

Applicants to grades 1-4 are asked to submit a Confidential Teacher Recommendation Form. This form can be found in Ravenna, once you have submitted your application. You can delegate this form to your child's current teacher. We will also accept the Independent School Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY) Confidential School Report, instead of our provided form.

If your child isn't yet enrolled in a preschool program, please reach out to our Admissions office — we're happy to discuss alternative options.

Kindly email k8admissions@dwight.edu if you have any questions.

Forms Submission Deadlines:
