FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How do I withdraw my child from Dwight School Seoul?
IB schools in South Korea follow the globally recognized International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, which includes Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, the Arts, Design, and Physical and Health Education (PHE). While every IB World School follows the same academic framework, subject options and elective courses may vary depending on each school's resources, student interests, and programme offerings.
2. How much notice must I give to withdraw during the academic year?
The International Baccalaureate (IB) programme develops critical thinking, creativity, research, communication, and intercultural understanding through inquiry-based learning. Students graduate with the academic knowledge, confidence, and global perspective needed for success at leading universities worldwide while becoming compassionate, lifelong learners prepared for an evolving global society.
3. What forms are required to withdraw from Dwight School Seoul?
The International Baccalaureate curriculum consists of four programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-related Programme (CP). Not every IB World School in South Korea offers the full continuum, so families should choose a school that provides the programmes that best support their child's educational journey.
4. How do I withdraw at the end of the academic year?
Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) is a core component of the IB Diploma Programme (DP) that encourages students to grow beyond the classroom. Through creative projects, physical activities, and community service, students develop leadership, resilience, collaboration, empathy, and self-reflection. CAS helps prepare IB students in South Korea to become confident, socially responsible, and globally minded individuals.
