Academics
Classes are a mix of synchronous and asynchronous elements, designed to suit a student body, including young athletes and actors, who want a rigorous education that is time-flexible.[3]
Dwight Global is an IB World School and offers AP classes. Students choose to either focus on IB, AP, or a personalized course of study, meeting the same graduation standards as the students in the other Dwight schools. They graduate with a Dwight Global diploma and can pursue an IB diploma. They may come to the school's traditional campuses in New York City, Shanghai, Seoul, London, and Dubai for residential programs.[4]
In 2021, Niche ranked Dwight Global the second-best online high school in the United States.[5]
