Dwight-Englewood School

Based in historic Graham House on the beautiful Dwight-Englewood School campus, our team is here to assist you with the entire D-E Admissions process. We look forward to working with you and hope to see you on campus soon. Pat Boig is Assistant Head of School for Advancement and Director of Advancement for Dwight-Englewood School.

Dwight-Englewood School (D-E) is a coeducational, independent school of approximately 900 students, serving a seamless education experience for students in preschool through Grade 12. Comprised of three divisions -- the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools -- each with their own distinctive personality, D-E is the most ethnically-diverse school in Bergen County with students who represent over 80 communities in New Jersey and New York.

Commitment, courage, respect, honesty, judgment and community -these enduring Core Values and fundamental principles of our school have shaped our culture and have guided generations of faculty, students, parents, and administrators. They are palpable everywhere, deeply embedded, and thoroughly define Dwight-Englewood's distinctive environment-one that is serious, challenging, and caring all at once.

At Dwight-Englewood, we all come to grow. We seek growth in respect, honesty, judgment, commitment, courage and community and expect each of us to work towards living these, our shared values. We believe that the opportunity to grow is a precious gift, one that brings out our best selves.

Our community aspires to meet the ideals of our Mission Statement, and our alumni endeavor to meet the principles identified in our Profile of a Graduate and Profile of a Teacher (see below).Respect takes many forms: respect for others, respect for the environment, and respect for self. We show our respect for others by being considerate and attentive to their needs and wishes.

The worth and dignity of every person at all levels of work, study, and play are paramount at Dwight-Englewood across any artificial lines of exclusion. Our commitment to the diversity of our student body requires a mirror image of that diversity in the composition of faculty, staff, administration, and trustees, and will likewise be reflected in our curriculum.
