Encouraging creativity, nurturing talent, and providing opportunities for expression are central to igniting every child’s spark of genius. The arts support this mission by helping students explore identity, communicate ideas, and build confidence.
Exposure begins in Pre-School with art fundamentals and continue through grade 12 with deeper learning in history, theory, and technique.
STUDENTS SHARE ARTISTRY IN WORLD-CLASS VENUES
Each year, students from the global network of Dwight schools perform together in iconic concert halls around the world. They audition to join peers from other Dwight campuses at the annual Global Music Festival. Every other year, the concert takes place in New York at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. In alternating years, the performance goes global, traveling to stages in Dubai, London, Seoul, Shanghai, or Hanoi.
At Dwight, we believe all young people are artists. We inspire creativity by giving students access to many artistic disciplines. The visual arts program encourages learners to develop their own view of the world and the skills to express it. Students explore painting, sculpture, textiles, printmaking, installations, photography, filmmaking, and digital arts. This broad approach fosters innovative thinking and creative use of technology.
Students at Dwight School Hanoi engage with the theater arts both onstage and behind the scenes. They experience a rigorous program rooted in professional theater practices. Each season features classics, world-theater, modern plays, musicals, and original student work. These productions help students pursue individual interests while gaining practical experience in performing, producing, directing, and stagecraft.
Dwight builds a strong foundation in music education, encouraging students to see music as a global language. Learners respond to their own work and to the work of other artists. Through this process, they develop skills in analysis, interpretation, evaluation, and reflection. Students also gain knowledge of musical concepts and specialized vocabulary. They consider diverse perspectives to shape their own creative ideas.
