Dublin School

Dublin, New Hampshire, USA
Co-Ed, No Religious Affiliation

view map request catalog

When prospective students visit Dublin School, they are given a Moleskine notebook as a reminder of our effort to make Dublin a place where each student will write their own story - without the pressure of fitting into a mold or living up to other’s expectations. Dublin nurtures a culture that emphasizes trying new things while embracing the joys of being a teenager. We believe that this culture, together with Dublin’s rich history and stunning location, allows our students to grow in ways that they might have found unimaginable before Dublin.

Our size allows us to be intentional in everything we do. Whether that is beginning every day as a community in Morning Meeting - sharing stories and our talents - or in creating signature programs around Writing, Programming Robotics Imagination Science Math (PRISM), Spanish Language Learning, Endurance Sports, Theater, or Residential Life - everything has purpose. We believe in building a life of meaningful work that allows teenagers to find the deep satisfaction that is a byproduct of effort and achievement.

We hope you will take some time to learn more about what makes a Dublin education special. More importantly, we would love for you to come and spend a day imagining your Dublin!

  • Dublin School is surrounded by miles of woods, pristine deep-water lakes, abundant wildlife and Mt. Monadnock, one of the most climbed mountains in the world. This hidden corner of Southern NH is an easy drive to Boston and the NY area.
  • Academics at Dublin are intense. They are also a lot of fun. We offer a full college preparation program. What may surprise you, however, is the range of offerings, the ability to be stretched, and the ability to to tailor courses to your passions.
  • Dance, theater, portfolio art and robotics are alternatives for those that do not want to play sports in every season. Our dance teacher danced for Martha Graham, our arts teacher has paintings in collections and our robot can beat up you robot.
  • Winners of Bronze at Nationals, none had ever rowed before Dublin. Dublin is a place where you can discover your passion and have the opportunity and support to achieve it.
  • The joy of scoring a first goal. We support each other. We work together. We celebrate each other. We suffer together. Our athletic teams build lasting friendships.
  • Dublin students are busy. But they make time for each other. Dublin is the right size to not get lost and to be discovered by others for who you are. We value the uniqueness of every individual.
  • We take the outdoors seriously. Our 400-acre campus offers miles of wooded trails. Our new Nordic Center is one of the best and most challenging in the East. The Norm Wight Ski Area allows alpine skiers to ski under the lights in the center of campus.
  • Ever taught lacrosse in a remote Himalayan village? Dublin students are engaged with the wider world. Imagine the impact you could make.
  • We take a lot of pride in our athletic facilities and Dublin's athletic fields. Our two beautifully maintained, natural turf fields are among the best anywhere. The scene in autumn, with the surrounding woods ablaze in foliage color and views that include

Summary: No two Dublin educations are the same.
We couple the power of a classic college preparatory education with the ability and flexibility to dive deeper into a newly discovered passion.

We require rigorous and extensive course work in English, Mathematics, Science, History, a World Language, Technology and the Arts. But this is just the foundation. The excitement for our students is in being able to take their ideas and passions further.

For some that is in investing themselves heavily in AP Course work in the Sciences or Humanities. For others it is maximizing self-expression through both the Visual and Performing Arts. Others delve deeply into Technology and Robotics. They are fully supported through student requested electives, independent studies and an optional capstone Senior Project that offers students the opportunity to engage in a year-long rigorous study centered-around a question or topic that is of special interest to them.

But what if I don't have an academic passion right now?

We don't expect you to. We would rather see you be open to the possibilities than to have it all figured out. Nothing is more empowering to us as educators than when a student discovers that they really are passionate about something unexpected. At Dublin, that happens more times than not.

Summary: There’s dramatic beauty that is apparent on your first visit to Dublin. Our collective sense of place defines our community.

It’s the blending of a unique collection of qualities and characteristics – visual, cultural, academic, social, and environmental – that lend to the distinct sense of belonging that occurs at Dublin. But mostly, it’s our people.

Ask a Dublin student what they value most about their school and the likely response will be “the close relationships between faculty and students.” Ask a faculty member at Dublin what they value most about their school and the likely response will be “the close relationships between faculty and students.” This is the core of the Dublin School difference.

Students at Dublin experience the comfort of knowing that they are in a place where they are supported, encouraged, and heard. When they are presented with the opportunity to try something that may be new or challenging, they have the courage to take the leap and step outside of their comfort zone. This is the magic that happens at Dublin — and you can feel it each time a student gets up at morning meeting to perform a song for the first time; each time a student joins their first work gang and experiences the rewards of building something with their own hands; and each time a student tries a new sport and it becomes their passion.

Dublin students challenge themselves by trying new things in a safe and supportive environment. If you have the courage to try new things, you just might fall in love with them—and that is what Dublin is all about.

Summary: Athletics

Everyone is an athlete. Some of us just don't know it (yet).

We offer an exceptional range of sports tailored for every type of athlete. Why? Because confidence gained through athletics leads to better self-esteem and a positive attitude in all aspects of student life. In a world placing increasing emphasis on specialization, Dublin is a school where an athlete can play six different sports over their career and still act in a play or dance in our modern dance program.

Whether you have played a lot of sports at a high level or not, you are going to be asked to participate - possibly in something that you have never done before. You won't be alone in that.

That doesn't mean that you have to play soccer. Although we would love it if you did! Maybe dance is your fall sport (did they just say dance is a sport?) Maybe it's mountain biking or running. We want you to find something to fall in love with and to be valued for. We will support you every step of the way. Student-athletes receive exceptional one-on-one instruction with committed coaches who instill a love of the game, sportsmanship, and a good work ethic.

Arts

We don't pay lip service to the Arts.

At Dublin, we believe the arts are an essential part of a well-rounded education. Beyond the qualities of creativity, self-expression, and communication, art is a type of work. Through art, we learn the meaning of the joy of work - work done to the best of one's ability, for its own sake, and for the satisfaction of a job well done.

You cannot touch art without touching values: values about home and family, work and play, the individual and society, nature and the environment, war and peace, beauty and ugliness, violence and love. The great art of the past and the present deals with these durable human concerns. When we study art of different cultures, we expose ourselves to the expression of a wide range of human values and concerns. We sensitize ourselves to values that shape all human efforts.
