International School in North London, UK

Dwight School London:
Located in Friern Barnet, in the borough of Barnet in north London, Dwight School London is one of the UK's leading international schools. Recognised by the Council of International Schools (CIS), we are an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, and was one of the first in the UK to offer the full IB Programme. We offer the Early Years Foundation Programme, the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the IB Diploma. We teach boys and girls between the ages of 2-18. About 40% of our students are from the local North London area and the rest are international students. Homestay accommodation is available for international students age 16+.

Dwight School London prepares young people to become leaders in the world. Our students thrive in a curriculum rooted in our three educational pillars. The first is personalised learning; the second, a commitment to community; the third, our global vision.

Personalised Learning
Personalised programmes extend, challenge and support each student. Our student body comprises a range of academic ability and talent, and we pride ourselves on meeting each student’s needs through the International Baccalaureate Programmes. Based on international standards of excellence, Dwight is committed to realising each student's potential by finding and nurturing their “Spark of Genius”.

Community
Dwight School’s commitment to the International Baccalaureate Programmes ensures each child’s personal development is shaped by the IB Learner Profile which fosters leadership, initiative and service learning. Students are inspired and educated to make a positive difference to their school, to their communities and to the world. Authentic local and global community projects nurture awareness and empathy to support the IB Learner Profile traits. We seek to strengthen the relationships between home and school, and relationships within the school, to maintain an open, welcoming and supportive community.

Global Vision
Dwight School London serves a diverse community of students from all over the world, and the International Baccalaureate Programmes provide challenges and opportunities that emphasise intercultural awareness while encouraging students to become global thinkers and thus global citizens. We encourage students to see challenges and opportunities from a global perspective. Our school literally extends into other regions of the world through the range of cultures and experiences of our students, and the global network of schools.

Dwight London is a small, friendly and vibrant day school and although the school does not have its own boarding facilities, we are happy to consider applications for students aged 16 and above who would like to live with a registered homestay family. Or n some cases Dwight may agree to students living with family friends or relatives, but these people may need to be registered with the local authority. For students who require a Student visa to come to the UK, Dwight can offer a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that can be used by students to apply at the relevant consulate. We require any students/families needing a Student visa to use the Visa and Immigration Services of ECA Legal who will ensure that all of the requisite documentation is in order for Dwight to then issue the CAS.
