The original Dwight School was founded in Manhattan in 1872. In 2013, it was chosen to pilot an online IB education program that became Dwight Global Online School.[1]

Academics

Classes are a mix of synchronous and asynchronous elements, designed to suit a student body, including young athletes and actors, who want a rigorous education that is time-flexible.[2]

Dwight Global is an IB World School and offers AP classes. Students choose to either focus on IB, AP, or a personalized course of study, meeting the same graduation standards as the students in the other Dwight schools. Rather than an IB diploma, they graduate with a Dwight Global diploma. They may come to the school's traditional campuses in New York City, Shanghai, Seoul, London, and Dubai for residential programs.[3]

In 2019, Niche ranked Dwight Global the fifth-best online high school in the United States.[4]
