Dublin School

When you arrive on campus you should proceed to the David Howe Administration Building (first building next to the circle).

This is where the admissions office is. We will be awaiting your arrival!

A visit to Dublin can consist of many parts. One of our wonderful student ambassadors will give you a tour around campus. Both visiting student and parent /guardian will be given separate interviews by an admissions staff member where we will both get to know more about each other. If you can start your day with us we would love for you to join us for our daily morning meeting, or for lunch if you are coming in the afternoon. If the schedule allows we would welcome the visiting student to sit in on a class.

Your visit should take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. We want you to leave Dublin with a real understanding of what Dublin School has to offer you.
