A+ Academics (dedicated)

Your child is unique and special; every child is. So, they deserve to attend a school at which their individuality is recognized, honored, and nurtured. Dwight-Englewood School, in Englewood, New Jersey is an independent, co-educational, college preparatory school that recognizes the distinctive talents and abilities of each of their 1,015 students and offers them an education that will enable each of them to, as their mission statement says, “meet the challenges of a changing world and make it better”.

Dwight-Englewood School, the area’s longest established independent school serves students from Preschool 3 through 12th grade to their 45+ acre campus located just minutes from the George Washington Bridge. A rigorous curriculum is grounded in the classics, but is forward-facing, giving DE students a solid foundation that educates them for their future, not our present.

Students of all ages are encouraged, through project-based learning, to relentlessly pursue knowledge, ask difficult questions, and analyze critically and thoroughly. Graduates of Dwight-Englewood School find success, first in college and then in life, because of their curiosity, capability, and communication skills. A low student-to-faculty ratio ensures that students are given personalized attention and are well-known by their teachers. Faculty and administrators at Dwight-Englewood School are compassionate and committed, and Dwight-Englewood’s diverse community enables students to learn from each other in ways that are impactful and profound.

Dwight-Englewood invites you to learn more about the school and their programs at one or more of their Fall Admissions events.
