At Dwight School Seoul, we are proud to be the first IB Continuum school in Seoul and have become the leading IB school in Seoul. However, our true mission extends beyond accolades and achievements — our goal is to ignite the spark of genius inside every child who attends Dwight. Our actions are determined by three pillars which supports our vision to foster the next generation of global leaders who can thrive anywhere in the world.

Personalized Learning
Dwight embraces the individuality of each learner, as no two students are the same. Dwight supports these student journeys through a robust academic curriculum and after-school programs. Dwight makes it a priority to focus on and develop each child’s spark of genius. Whether connecting a student with an exceptional mentor, designing tailor-made enrichment, crafting a special study abroad opportunity, or providing an innovative program or tutorial, Dwight recognizes and fosters each student’s gifts and talents.

Community
Dwight’s community is a family of diverse individuals whose collective goal is to build a better world. The power of our learning environment is enhanced by connecting and valuing the different contributions and talents of all members. Through unlimited service, leadership, programmatic, and scholarship opportunities, we inspire students to find their own unique paths to action.

Global Vision
Dwight’s mission, vision, and pillars extend globally across our network of schools and is supported by the International Baccalaureate ethos. Students develop a sense of themselves, as well as the world around them. Dwight opens students’ hearts and minds through challenges and opportunities, inviting students to build bridges within and between cultures.

The IB curriculum serves as the foundation for our learning environment, providing students with an inquiry-led programme that focuses on academic excellence and skill development. Critical thinking, communication and collaboration play a significant role in our curriculum.

We believe that this approach encourages our students to take risks, develop a growth mindset and respect all those who are learning alongside them. We are proud that our students develop not only academically but also personally.
