Job description

Dwight School is the first school in the Americas to offer all four International Baccalaureate programs from preschool to grade 12.

Guided by our philosophy of igniting the spark of genius in every child, Dwight is an inclusive school that aims to meet the unique needs, abilities, and interests of each student.

At the same time, Dwight challenges every student to develop intellectual independence, respect for diversity and belonging, and to become innovators and thought leaders.  Known for its low student-teacher ratio, Dwight enrolls 1,100 students with 400 faculty and staff.

  • personalized learning, community, and global vision.
  • As part of a leading global network of schools, Dwight offers employees exciting cross-campus opportunities.
  • Additionally, with the support of The Dwight School Foundation’s generous grants, Dwight provides faculty professional development, enabling teachers to deepen their content knowledge and pursue their own sparks of genius to be shared with the community.  At Dwight, we strive to ensure that our environment is welcoming — a place in which everyone can thrive — and an organization we are proud of.
  • We recognize that this takes trusting relationships and ensuring that all individuals feel valued regardless of their backgrounds.
