St Columba's College - Dublin
St. Columba's College is one of the most outstanding secondary schools in Ireland and is particularly specialized in providing high quality education to its boarders. Founded in 1843, and combining the best of traditional and modern architecture, the College occupies about 60 acres at the foot of the Dublin Mountains, overlooking the bay. Although the land has a "rural feeling", the College is just 11 miles from downtown and 30 minutes from the airport and the main train and bus stations.
With about 300 students in seven houses, believe strongly in the virtues of having a small size. This moves to the classroom, where the average class size is 15 in the first three years, and of 10 in the last three. The code of conduct requires discipline on the part of students, but it is fair and, more importantly, accepted by all. They need to be active and be encouraged in our daily lives is the best form of discipline, and highlights the value of community respect and support for others.
The academic results are in any way exceptional, and the vast majority of students continuing their education at universities in Ireland, the UK and elsewhere. But students pass the examinations is not the priority of education at St Columba's. Each week there are six afternoons sport for all pupils, about half the students learn to play a musical instrument, and represent about twelve plays throughout each academic year. Students have opportunities to discuss current issues regularly, and gives importance to the oratory.
