The history of Dwight School London comprises three parallel stories—the Dwight family, the New York school, and the London/global network. In London, Holmewood was opened in 1885 by Mrs. Maria Wilson in Woodside Park, Finchley, with nearby schools such as St Alban's and St John's contributing to the early landscape. In 1972 Chancellor Stephen Spahn opened a campus in London and later merged Holmewood, St Alban's and St John's High School for Boys to create what we know today as Dwight School London. The London crest is linked to the Dwight heritage and the school has connections with Yale's Timothy Dwight College. Dwight London is part of a global network that includes Dwight Schools in New York, Seoul, Shanghai, Dubai, Hanoi and Dwight Global Online School.
Dwight School London forms part of a global network with Dwight Schools in New York, Seoul, Shanghai, Dubai, Hanoi and Dwight Global Online School, with over 50 nationalities represented among staff and students. Intercultural awareness and respect are a focus in the classroom and in the school's community. The network offers travel and exchange programs, cross-campus curricular collaborations, online learning programs, international athletic competitions and global leadership conferences, fostering a worldwide outlook.
Dwight Parent Association is a volunteer parent organisation; all Dwight parents are automatically members and it serves as the fundraising vehicle for agreed charities and for school events across Upper and Lower School. Through class representatives the DPA communicates volunteer needs for classroom and special events and fosters social interaction among families, while coordinating with the school to support arts, drama and musical productions and sporting events. Activities include The Winter Fair, International Food Fair, teacher appreciation events, Book Fair and Summer Fair; the DPA issues a monthly Community Newsletter and runs a Parent Ambassador Programme to assist new families. There is also an Out and About group that arranges monthly activities in and around London. For inquiries, contact the DPA Chair at dpa@dwightlondon.org and the school's communications team at kstrickland@dwightlondon.org.
