Description : IB preparation(primary school) in Dwight School New York

Preschool (grades 1-5)

The main idea of ​​education in this period is to support each student, encourage his "spark of genius" and develop the strengths of each student. Such a course is effective for everyone, since it allows for the fact that there are no two identical students - a future mathematician, a beginner artist or a child dreaming about an international career of an athlete - all of them will require different educational programs.

During the course, students get acquainted with six large sections:

• "Who are we?"
• "Where are we in time and space?"
• "How do we express ourselves?"
• "How does the world work?"
• "How do we organize ourselves?"
• "Sharing the planet."

During their education in primary school, students study such subjects as:

• Letter
• Social studies
• Reading
• Mathematics

Senior classes (11-12 years of study)

At the school, the education is built according to the course IB - International Baccalaureate (International Baccalaureate). International Baccalaureate is an academic program for students from preschool age and up to grade 12.

International Baccalaureate is the ideal academic foundation for the education of critical thinkers and leaders who are able to solve problems that are culturally flexible and know several languages, using them for success in today's global market.
