The Order has established a strong academic and
holistic tradition in Killiney that is based on the principle of
caring for the individual. Located on the school grounds also is
a Junior School/Pre-school and a Convent of the Religious Sisters
of St. Joseph of Cluny Order.
The school is committed to creating a broad educational
experience by providing the opportunity for each student to achieve
academic excellence while also developing her full potential.
The school offers a broadly based curriculum which
has a diverse and challenging range of academic subjects, excellent
sporting opportunities and extra-curricular activities. Some of
these after-school activities include the teaching of orchestra
and a broad range of musical instruments, voice training, dance
and drama.
The school also offers a continuous programme
of personal development and a strong Christian ethos that emphasises
respect and tolerance for all. It promotes values such as personal
responsibility and leadership, compassion, integrity and kindness.
It prepares our students for the academic standards required for
Third Level education and the demands of professional life. It also
aims to enable all our pupils to become moral, confident and tolerant
human beings.
