Dwight International School – Lakeside Campus

Programs (2009)

 

In August 2009, Dwight International School will be opening its new campus on the shores of Shawnigan Lake. Led by an experienced team including Jerry Salvador, Assistant Director of Pearson College, Stephen Spahn, Chancellor of the Dwight School, and Susan Xu, General Manager of China Century Ventures, the former Maxwell International School will reopen in July 2009 as the Dwight International School. The new school will offer a non denominational education catering to both residential and day students with the goal to produce students who excel academically and are leaders in their communities.

 

Dwight International School is an international university preparatory school. Together with its consortium partners, The Dwight School/Anglo American International School, New York City and North London International School, United Kingdom, Dwight International School has a rich tradition of academic excellence. We train students to be leaders with a strong sense of community responsibility.

 

We believe that every student has a spark of genius, and our goal is to nurture that potential. We strive to develop inquisitive, informed, and ethical citizens who, with a sense of global kinship, will take action to build a better world.

 

We offer several summer and winter program options. For winter program options please contact Jerry Salvador at jsalvador@globalcolleges.com

 

Our summer program options range from 1 to 8 weeks in duration. The start and end dates are flexible. A typical program costs $2100 CDN for a three week residential program. Details of the typical program are provided below.
