Dwight School Dubai is committed to more than academic excellence. It aims to ignite the spark of genius in every student, helping them become confident, compassionate leaders prepared for a rapidly evolving world.
“At Dwight School Dubai, we believe that education should prepare students to excel academically and empower them to thrive in the real world,” said David Hutson, Head of School. “Our students graduate as confident, compassionate leaders who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.”
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, Dwight offers a globally recognised curriculum from PreK to Grade 12 and provides a personalised education grounded in the values of international-mindedness and academic excellence.
Two IB pathways tailored to student ambitions
For our senior students, in Grades 11 and 12, Dwight School Dubai offers two distinct IB pathways: the IB Diploma Programme (DP) and the IB Career-related Programme (CP)*. The DP is an academically rigorous course recognised by top universities worldwide; the CP is a dynamic and innovative alternative, ideal for students who are eager to pursue their career interests while building essential life experience.
IB Career-related Programme: A gateway to applied learning
The CP is ideal for students eager to pursue specialised interests while gaining essential workplace and life skills. At Dwight School Dubai, CP students:
- Choose two or three IB Diploma Programme courses aligned with their interests.
- Earn the internationally recognised BTEC International Level 3 Business Diploma, equivalent to two A-Levels.
- Participate in weekly internships, gaining firsthand experience in a professional setting.
- Strengthen global competence through Language and Cultural Studies.
- Develop leadership, ethical reasoning, and communication skills through the CP Core, which includes Personal and Professional Skills, Community Engagement and the Reflective Project.
This pathway offers students a flexible and meaningful learning experience, equipping them with the knowledge, confidence and practical tools needed for university and beyond. It is an ideal fit for students who wish to specialise in a particular area while still receiving the benefits of an IB education.
Aligned with Dwight’s mission
Whether students pursue the CP or DP, Dwight ensures a personalised and future-ready education. The school’s commitment to nurturing intercultural understanding and real-world application is at the heart of everything it does.
