Advisor Program

At Dublin School we seek to develop independent-minded, self-reliant students with the skills and maturity to succeed in college and beyond, but we know that along the way our students appreciate a guiding hand. To support each student, we have a strong advising program, which provides every student with a faculty advisor.

Our advisor program matches each student with an adult in the community who is there to help them in a variety of ways. Students meet weekly as a part of the academic calendar with their advisors to talk about their individual progress as well as discuss issues of interest and importance to the school community. Advisors are here to assist students and parents with every aspect of school life, from academic problems to social adjustments and personal difficulties. Students or families with questions or problems can most easily start with a phone call to a student’s advisor. If the advisor cannot help directly, he or she can find the right person with whom to talk.

During the first year, we match each student with an advisor with whom we hope they will have much in common. In each subsequent year, the student will have the choice of continuing that relationship or choosing another advisor with whom they have made a connection. The relationships that develop between advisors and advisees often are among the most important ones a student may have during their time at Dublin.
