Big ideas. Real impact. 🌿

At this year's Sparkathon, nearly 100 students across 30 teams in the Dwight-Franklin Network β€” including five teams from Dwight New York β€” partnered with the Villars Institute to tackle UN Sustainable Development Goal 15: Life on Land.

Students pitched innovative solutions to protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems, impressing a panel of four judges from Villars in the process. Now the winners have been announced!

: Grade 5 Travels Across the Pond! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Our youngest Middle Schoolers recently embarked on their annual journey to London to see the sights β€” trading textbooks for cobblestones, and classrooms for culture! From the Tower of London to the London Eye, to a West End performance of Hercules the Musical, every corner of the city had something new to discover. They even got to visit our sister campus, !

During their visit, these young global citizens dove into British culture, history, and traditions, making connections and memories that will last well into the future!

What an adventure! ✈️
