Located in rural southwestern New Hampshire, Dublin School is a deliberately small, nondenominational, independent college preparatory school for grades 9-12. Diversity is infused in all community experiences at Dublin School because of our size and student population. Dublin School students actively participate in all aspects of school life, as we believe that learning takes place both inside and outside of the classroom. Students and faculty work together to create a school culture that enables individuals to be their authentic self, encourages students to seek out new experiences, supports healthy risk-taking, promotes equity and inclusion, and creates time for play. Every academic day begins with Morning Meeting, which brings the entire community together for formal and spontaneous presentations and announcements, guest speakers, and Senior Presentations. Students have daily work jobs and weekend Work Gang, small group projects such as trail maintenance, wood splitting or maple sugaring, to help maintain our physical campus and foster an ethic of meaningful work within our school. Students must engage in afternoon athletics or activities each trimester and join at least one competitive team each year. Additionally, more than one-third of our students elect to take part in our performing arts program, which includes dance, music, and theater. Students often elect to participate in clubs and organizations, such as ModelUN, Outing Club, Student Government, Students of Color Association, or the Astronomy Club. Dublin School students are active community members because they are provided rich opportunities that awaken new passions and bring our school’s mission to life. We help our students to grow physically, socially, morally, and intellectually for the betterment of self and community.
