School Notes
School Motto: Truth and Courage
School Mascot: Wildcats
Located in rural southwestern New Hampshire, Dublin School is a
deliberately small, 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 thatlearning 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, guestspeakers,
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.
We instill the values of discipline and meaningful work that
are necessary for the good of self and community. We respect the
individual learning style and unique potential each student brings
to our school. With our guidance, Dublin students become men and
women who seek truth and act with courage. As members of a
residential community where students and adults live and work
together, we strive daily to find the balance between individual
freedom and community standards and expectations. Each of us at
Dublin School is expected to be concerned with the well-being of
others and with the quality of life here on campus. We learn to
treat each person as an individual of particular worth, and while
achieving independence, we learn the value of independence in a
community. Our motto is, "Truth and Courage". We expect of
ourselves the courage to be truthful, to deal with one another with
honesty and mutual respect, and to embrace diversity of all kinds
with compassion and understanding.

Dublin School provided the most nurturing, challenging, and accepting environment for me during critical years of development. During my four years at Dublin, I was pushed academically, athletically, artistically, and socially, while being acknowledged and respected for who I was. The entire community is incredibly welcoming. My strengths were built upon, and my weaknesses were met and addressed in a way that prepared me for the upcoming chapters of my life. In my opinion, the strongest attribute of the school is its size. I knew everyone on campus and the intimate classes allowed for impactful conversations, yet it was large enough to establish friendships with people to that I could relate on deeper levels. My Dublin friends are still my best friends, and I graduated over 14 years ago. Dublin is such a special place, and I am so grateful for the time I was able to spend there!

I could not be more pleased with Dublin School for my daughter. When searching for a school, my wife and I wanted a high quality academic program and strong community. We are getting both at Dublin. My daughter is a strong student who is both challenged and motivated by the academic program. She also feels at home in a deliberately strong and diverse community. Dublin works extremely hard to create an atmosphere where students are individually recognized and supported, but also strongly encouraged to try new activities, think differently, and discover themselves. It is a perfect fit for my daughter and our family. It will be our top choice for our younger daughter.
