About Clongowes Wood College SJ

Established in 1814, Clongowes is Ireland’s leading 7 day boarding school for boys aged from 12 years old. A Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition, they aim to develop young men of conscience, compassion and competence. They are home to 450 boys from Ireland and further afield. Clongowes offers a broad academic programme as well as a diverse co-curricular programme of sports, drama, debating and music. That which sets them apart is their approach to ‘the care of the individual’ – nourishing each boy’s talents and supporting them on a pastoral level. Clongowes is a very special place, set in 550 acres just 40 minutes from Dublin airport.

Curriculum: Irish education is broad and balanced. They are a non-selective school with a wide range of learning styles and abilities supported by our dedicated staff. The teaching and learning programme is across 6 years with state exams at Junior Certificate (3rd year) and Leaving Certificate at 6th year.
