School History
Overview
When prospective students visit Dublin School, they are given a Moleskine notebook as a reminder of our effort to make Dublin a place where each student will write their own story - without the pressure of fitting into a mold or living up to other`s expectations.
Dublin nurtures a culture that emphasizes trying new things while embracing the joys of being a teenager.
We believe that this culture, together with Dublin`s rich history and stunning location, allows our students to grow in ways that they might have found unimaginable before Dublin.
Our size allows us to be intentional in everything we do.
Whether that is beginning every day as a community in Morning Meeting - sharing stories and our talents - or in creating signature programs around Writing, Programming Robotics Imagination Science Math (PRISM), Spanish Language Learning, Endurance Sports, Theater, or Residential Life - everything has purpose.
We believe in building a life of meaningful work that allows teenagers to find the deep satisfaction that is a byproduct of effort and achievement.
Brewster Academy is a leading New Hampshire boarding school and private prep school in New England, set on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro-just two hours from Boston and a short drive to the White Mountains.
Our lakeside campus stretches along a half-mile of shoreline and features 20 dormitories with attached faculty residences, creating a supportive, relationship-centered boarding school community.
Students live and learn steps from Wolfeboro's vibrant downtown, with cafs, restaurants, and local shops that extend campus life into the surrounding community.
At the heart of campus stands our academic center, complemented by a 50,000-square-foot athletics facility overlooking playing fields, the lake, and the mountains-an inspiring setting for academics and competitive sports.
A recently renovated Performing Arts and Student Center serves as the creative heart of campus and a dynamic gathering space for all-school meetings, performances, and community celebrations.
