Residential Life

Venture Within. In A Place Where You Belong.

The Dublin School Residential Life program is packed full of fun, meaningful growth and connection between peers and a dedicated faculty. At the heart of our boarding community is respect for all identities, curiosity about the things that make us different, and unity as a community that supports the individual.

You will quickly find that our students take ownership of their community. Students care to make our school a better place for all.

Shamrock. Truth. Courage. Moxie.

These are the names of our four Duty Teams on campus. Duty Team refers to the adults in charge for the weekends or evenings. Every duty team has a little different flare, to offer a variety of trips and activities, and opportunities to connect with adults.

Dorm Life with friends and mentors

Our boarding students develop community in their living spaces, grow in their life skills and have a ton of fun! Whether celebrating a birthday, watching movies in the Common Room, running a study session or answering thought-provoking questions at Milk & Cookies, students at Dublin cherish the community that grows in the dormitory.

Almost every room on campus is a double - meaning there are two students per room. All dorms have 1-3 faculty apartments attached to the commons areas. Our residential life faculty are immersed in the community as teachers, coaches, administrators and advisors too!

Comfort, Safety & Belonging

We launched our first all-gender dorm in Fall 2019, which was home to 14 students. In 2022, there were 2 all-gender dorms housing 34 Dublin students. Although the gender/s for each dorm have not yet been determined for the 2023-2024 school year, it is important that all of our students live in an environment that they feel safe, comfortable and supported. To accommodate students of all genders, we offer three types of dorms. We have dorms for Generally Male-Identified and Nonbinary students, dorms for Generally Female-Identified and Nonbinary students, and All Gender dorms. The dorm designations each year will vary on enrollment needs. Learn more about Equity, Justice & Belonging at Dublin.
