DISTINCTIONS OF A DWIGHT-ENGLEWOOD EDUCATION Integrated Math Modeling (IMM I & II) This two-year sequence includes advanced algebra, geometry, probability, statistics, and data analysis, with an emphasis on applications and problem solving. Hyper Math: Extraordinarily talented entering mathematics students enroll in “Hyper” Math courses in Grade 9 with Honors Precalculus and typically enroll in AP Calculus BC in Grade 10. Integrated Biology and Chemistry (IBC I & II) This required two-year laboratory-based sequence integrates key aspects of biology and chemistry, taught around an environmental theme that provides a strong foundation in all three disciplines. Topics include cellular functions, biological systems, genetics, evolution, and the interaction of living organisms. Emphasis is placed on data collection and analysis, evidencebased reasoning and the evaluation of information & sources. Students then move on to advanced science courses, including at least one required semester of physics. The Advanced Independent Research Seminar (AIRS) offers motivated students the opportunity to pursue an advanced and specialized topic in science over a period of two or three years, leading to an extensive independent research project, often as part of the Honors Senior Focus program. Students meet three times weekly, to define and develop background in their chosen area of specialization, learn more about scientific research methods, and connect with scientists in their field, resulting in self-directed mentored research. Honors Senior Focus In 2003, NAIS awarded the D-E Focus program its first Leading Edge Award for Curricular Innovation. Focus offers seniors a yearlong experience that combines intellectual and academic skills with extensive fieldwork. In the fall, students write a collegelevel major research paper on a topic of their choice that is approved and overseen by their faculty mentor. In spring, they complete an off-campus fieldwork program that complements their research-based experience (at times, adjustments are made in their spring course schedule to accommodate off-campus fieldwork). The capstone is a formal presentation to a panel of outside experts, faculty, and peers, as well as a portfolio documenting their major findings.
ACCREDITATIONS The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools, and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools.
