 | Welcome to Dwight-Englewood School! 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.
Here, at every level, in the Lower, Middle, and Upper School divisions, students gain critical skills, seek excellence, ignite their passions, and develop the habit of lifelong learning. They become whole persons, with an educational experience rooted in tradition but aimed at innovation.
On stage and on the playing fields, in the library and dining halls, on field trips, and even in casual hallway exchanges, learning is always present, active, and even joyful. Here, in our caring community, we listen carefully, we question probingly, we speak respectfully, we embrace diverse opinions and cultural perspectives, we encourage new ideas and challenge old ones, and we enjoy each other’s company.
We invite you and your family to enter into this conversation and look forward to your sharing time with us on campus.
Warmly,
Dr. Rodney V. De Jarnett, P '13, P '16

The Head of School Series: An Exclusive Dwight-Englewood School Program
On Thursday, April 12, 315 East: A Chamber Ensemble, the professional resident chamber ensemble for D-E, performed "L'Histoire du Soldat" (The Soldier's Tale) by Igor Stravinsky. This suite was showcased in its entirety with orignal narration translated into English, and featured hand-carved marionettes by expert Puppeteer Dan Butterworth and was featured as part of the 2011-'12 Head of School Series. The Series was initiated in 2008 by Dr. De Jarnett in an effort to provide a myriad of exceptional performing and visual arts events, lectures, and film screenings to our School and our extended community.
