Dwight Hanoi Comes Online at the Dawn of AI

At Dwight School Hanoi, our journey with AI begins at the very heart of learning — in the planning process itself. As an IB school, we chose Toddle as our LMS because its planning tools are specifically built for an inquiry-based environment. Our AI use is grounded in responsibility. With guidance from the Dwight Network AI Taskforce, Dwight Hanoi has developed an AI policy to ensure safe, ethical, and purposeful AI integration.

Through the Toddle AI Assistant, teachers can brainstorm provocations, design differentiated lessons, and generate assessment tools — all aligned with IB pedagogy. Toddle is quickly emerging as an innovator in the AI and education space, and its seamless integration of AI into the planning process was a key factor in our decision to adopt the platform. Beyond Toddle, educators are exploring tools like MagicSchool and Flint, seeking ways to boost student engagement, support diverse needs, and reclaim time for more impactful teaching. Several teachers have also begun trialing Toddle’s AI Tutor, which has shown early promise in supporting EAL learners and differentiation.

I used Toddle AI to revise vocabulary for our Unit of Inquiry. When I gave specific prompts, it became a powerful tool, especially for students who struggle with English and dictionary definitions. - Yonny Chang, Grade 4 Teacher

“I tried it with my Grade 7s to review types of graphs. It helped assess student understanding and suggested areas for revision.” - Eric Poon, Middle and Upper School Math Teacher

Student use of AI in the classroom is just beginning. As AI is implemented, teachers act as facilitators and ethical guides in this space, modeling critical use of AI and helping students understand when, why, and how to engage with it. As AI at Dwight supports our IB values — fostering inquiry, reflection, and learner agency, while aligning with our founding values of innovation and personalized learning — we are sure to see success as we integrate AI technology more deeply into our curriculum.

At Dwight Hanoi, AI is not replacing learning — it’s enhancing it. Our focus is on empowering teachers and students alike to explore this evolving tool with curiosity and care.

Man City Football Academy Trip

A group of our students, along with a few Dwight New York students, recently traveled to the UK to take part in a week-long intensive training camp at the City Football Academy in Manchester. Our students trained daily with Manchester City coaches, engaged in tactical drills and match play, and received individual feedback throughout the week. Students also toured the iconic Etihad Stadium; took in a premier league game; met professionals behind the scenes; and participated in workshops that emphasized mindset, preparation, and global citizenship.

As the newest member of the Dwight family, we were proud to represent our network in this program. We’re excited to see where this journey leads and look forward to sharing more opportunities for global engagement with our fellow Dwight campuses.
