Rathdown School

Rathdown School welcomes girls and boys from Pre-School (3 years of age) to Leaving Certificate level (18 years of age). We deliver a broad range of academic subjects in small class groups, combined with a wide and varied programme of extra-curricular activities. We are a voluntary, fee-paying school for girls and boys, providing education to day pupils from Dublin, across Ireland and internationally. Our Junior and Senior Schools are set within 16 acres of beautiful grounds in Glenageary, Co. Dublin on a hill overlooking the sea at Dún Laoghaire with inland views of the Wicklow mountains. It is within easy reach of Dublin city, surrounding counties and Dublin Airport. From a group of three-year-old students holding hands in the playground of our Pre-School, to a thriving Junior School where a passion for discovering and exploring new horizons is ignited through to our exceptionally high-achieving Senior School where lifelong friendships are forged and academic, sporting and personal triumphs are shared; the Rathdown School journey is a seamless one, full of life-enhancing experiences along the way. Our school campus buzzes with confident, capable students ready to take their place in the world. We are a school of Protestant heritage. We welcome students and families of all faiths, and none, and from all traditions and cultures. We have a diverse and inclusive student body, where all are equally valued and all are equally important. Our doors are always open to welcome Irish and international students who come here to achieve their very best academically, socially and personally, have fun, make friends, and develop a global perspective. If you are looking for an outstanding school, please come and visit us - we promise you a warm welcome.
