At Dublin School, we strive to awaken a curiosity for
Our Mission knowledge and a passion for learning. 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 the unique potential
each student brings to our school. With our guidance,
Dublin students become men and women who seek
truth and act with courage.
Dublin School Located in rural southwestern New Hampshire, Dublin
School is a deliberately small, nondenominational,
Culture & independent college preparatory school for grades 9-12.
Community 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
Enrollment 164 life, as we believe that learning takes place both inside and
outside of the classroom. Students and faculty work together
50/50 girls to boys to create a school culture that enables individuals to be their

Each student serves the greater Monadnock community by
participating in service off-campus. Students also have daily
work jobs and weekend Work Gang 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
can participate in clubs and organizations, such as Amnesty
International, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Social Awareness
Club, GSA or Robotics. 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.
Academics Our academic program combines traditional college
preparatory curriculum with dynamic teaching including
problem-based learning units, arts-threaded projects,
Harkness method discussion courses, and Exeter’s math
methodology. Students benefit from close relationships with
teachers, ensuring that all students are challenged and
supported. Small, student-centered classroom settings allow
students to be fully involved in their education.
Dublin School’s diverse student body adds to the richness of
a student’s classroom experience by broadening perspectives
and fostering connections in the global community. Course
work is relevant and interactive. Course offerings include
challenging AP courses, innovative trimester electives,
independent studies, and one-on-one tutorial services,
allowing students to develop their strengths and address
weaknesses. In keeping with our mission, we help students
become passionate learners who are personally interested in
their academic experience. Students build their knowledge
base and key academic skills of inquiry, problem solving, and
communication as they apply their learning to the real world.
Our graduates are ready for college work and are looking for
academic challenge.
