The Dublin School is an independent college-preparatory school with a student body of 169. It is located in the United States in Dublin, New Hampshire, near Dublin Pond and Mount Monadnock. Of the 169 enrolled, approximately 70% are boarding students.[1]
The school was founded in September 1935 by Paul Lehmann, who owned and operated the school with his wife, Nancy.[1] In the school's first year, there were eight students and six faculty. From its opening up until the Lehmanns' retirement in 1970, the student population mainly consisted of boys.[2]
The Dublin School hosted the first Dublin Seminar for New England Folklife in 1976.
In 1983, Dublin began to host The Walden School,[3] a summer music school.
