Dublin School

[EduCativ]

The Dublin School first opened its doors in September 1935 with eight students and six faculty members. Fiercely independent from the beginning, Dublin eschewed then-popular trends, focused instead on the singular goal of allowing students to find themselves and their place in an ever-changing world. We continue today, guided by our motto of Truth and Courage, to nurture a culture that emphasizes being open to new things while embracing the joys of being a teenager.
At Dublin School, we strive to awaken a curiosity for knowledge and a passion for learning. We instill the values of discipline and meaningful work necessary for the good of self and community. We respect the individual learning style and the potential each student brings to our School. With our guidance, Dublin students become people who seek truth and act with courage. We couple the power of a traditional college preparatory education with the ability and flexibility to dive deeper into a newly discovered passion.
We require rigorous and extensive 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 thoroughly supported through student requested electives, independent studies, and an optional capstone Senior Project that offers students the opportunity to engage in a rigorous year-long study centered around a question or topic of particular interest to them.
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 other 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 four years and still act in a play or dance in our new dance program.
Whether you have played many sports at a high level or not, you will be asked to participate - possibly in something that you have never done before. You will not be alone in that.
That does not mean that you have to play soccer. However, we would love it if you did! Maybe dance is your fall sport (did they just say dance is a sport?) Maybe it is mountain biking, sailing 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. We focus less on results and more on the process. But do not get the impression that we do not want to win. We do. Even in dance! We attract athletes who want to compete at a high level. At Dublin, student-athletes have that opportunity.
