Week Without Walls
Nurturing Minds, Broadening Horizons
For students at Dwight in grades 7 through 11, education extends beyond the confines of the classroom. Every student is given the chance to delve deeply into the local culture’s vibrant mosaic and to make a meaningful contribution to the enhancement of the community.
Week Without Walls transcends a mere trip; it is a pivotal expedition that endows students with the necessary skills, values, and worldviews to thrive in a globally interwoven and diverse society. When students return, they carry with them not merely recollections but an expanded comprehension of their place and responsibilities within the global community.
A Cultural Journey Through Japan
Grade 7 students embark on an enriching exploration of Japan’s vibrant cities, savoring local cuisine, visiting numerous historic landmarks, and delving into the unique and varied facets of this East Asian nation.
This educational expedition kindles their curiosity, broadens their viewpoints, and enhances their appreciation for global cultural diversity.
Collaboration with an NGO in Cambodia
Grade 8 and 9 students participate in an enriching service trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Collaborating with the NGO Water for Cambodia, they construct biosand filters to provide clean drinking water for a remote village.
