The emphasis the IB places on intercultural awareness is a particularly important feature in the UAE, where the history, culture, beliefs and traditions of a plethora of nationalities live in unison with that of the host nation. No other curriculum fits better with the UAE and Dwight’s vision of educating the next generation of innovative and culturally aware global leaders than the IB.

In every grade, we embrace the IB mission and the IB Learner Profile, which encourages students to be: knowledgeable, inquirers, principled, thinkers, open-minded, communicators, balanced, risk-takers, caring, and reflective.

The International Baccalaureate Research collaborates with universities and research institutions around the world to produce rigorous studies examining the impact and outcomes of the IB Programmes. The recent study by IB research paper shows key findings from Africa, Europe, Middle East (AEM) region around the IB programmes.
