The International Baccalaureate Program
In 1996, Dwight became the second school in North America to offer all three International Baccalaureate (IB) Programs. Critical thinking, emphasis on oral and written communication, experiential learning, and leadership opportunity are central aspects of an IB education. The IB offers three programs of international education and, with them, the prospect of a continuous international educational experience from early childhood to pre-university age. Any school wishing to offer any of the International Baccalaureate Programs and attain IB World School status must first go through an authorization process, designed to ensure schools are well prepared to implement the programs successfully. The requirements for authorization are the same for all schools, even though the process is administered slightly differently in each IB region.
