Day Students - Dublin School

So you go to a boarding school...

Attending Dublin School as a day student means stepping into a campus community that does not power down when classes ended. Although you head home at night, your days, evenings, and weekends are immersed in the same vibrant rhythm as boarding students. You will share daytime meals and community dinners, participate in weekend games and activities, clubs and affinity groups, performances and Dublin Inspires.

Day students learn alongside and connect deeply with students from around the country and globe, offering a diverse learning opportunity and a connection beyond their hometown, and rarely found in high school. Day students often spend long hours on campus, taking advantage of all that Dublin has to offer.

Saturday & Sunday

Weekends in Dublin are full of on-campus activities run by student leaders and the adult "Duty Teams", as well as off campus trips, athletics and time to hangout with friends!

Saturday Workgang -- dubbed by our founder, Paul Lehmann, as "the most important class at Dublin" -- is an obligation that all students serve one Saturday morning a month, from 9:30-11:30 am.

All students have Afternoon Activities on Saturdays. There are often athletic competitions, so gear up to compete or cheer on your friends! And then stick around to enjoy the fun.

Brunch on Sunday is a highlight of the week! There are no on-campus obligations for day students. Feel free to come study with classmates or join a weekend trip; you can also get prepped for another big week ahead at home.

Sleepovers can be pre-arranged for the weekends! And there is dorm visitation at designated times throughout the weekend for students to hang out with each other.
