The Dublin School is a preparatory private high school with a student body of 159. It has grown from approximately 110 students in 2008. It is located in the United States in Dublin, New Hampshire, near Dublin Pond and Mount Monadnock. Of the 159 enrolled, approximately 80% are boarding students.
Paul Lehmann founded the school in 1935, after an extensive search for a high-elevation, lakeside location in southern New Hampshire. In the school's first year there were eight students and six faculty. Since 1935, the school has worked to provide students with a broad-based college preparatory education emphasizing community values and individual responsibility. All programs and endeavors seek to foster communal and individual responsibilities.
In 1983, Dublin began to host The Walden School, a summer music school.
Bradford Bates is the current Head of School of Dublin School.
