Dwight Global’s admissions process is designed to identify top student-athletes who are passionate about learning and can thrive in Dwight Global’s vigorous online academic environment. Dwight Global students typically are globally-minded, innovative, and self-motivated, and they are interested in sharing their diverse talents and experiences while pursuing their own sparks of genius in sport and academics.

Dwight Global students have gained admissions to many of the top colleges and universities in the world, including Columbia, Harvard, Stanford, NYU, Princeton, Duke, Penn, Vassar, Middlebury, Georgetown, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UVA, Michigan, and Wesleyan. 

Dwight’s college guidance team has expertise in university admissions in many parts of the world, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., continental Europe, and Asia.  At Dwight Global, we carefully pair each student with an expert counselor who guides and supports them through the college process and helps them identify the college that is the best fit based on their academic profiles, personal interests, and aspirations. 

Though regulations vary from country to country, Dwight Global graduates tend to be viewed similarly to graduates from bricks and mortar schools in terms of college admissions. If you have questions about college admissions in a particular country, please contact our admissions team at admissions@dwight.global, and we will connect you with a counselor who can answer your questions.

Dwight Global’s courses are taught in English, and students must be proficient in English in order to succeed in Dwight Global’s online courses.  During the admissions process, students are evaluated for oral, reading, and writing English proficiency.  Supplemental English programs are available for qualifying students who need additional support in English to reach fluency.

Dwight Global offers multiple courses of study with classes offered at the Honors, Standard, AP, and IB level. We are thrilled to be the only online school to offer the academically rigorous IB Diploma Program. Students will have a course selection meeting with a Dean, who serves as the student’s academic advisor. The Dean, along with our College Counseling team, helps the student which course of study works best for their aspirations.
