Boarding Admission
We are a day and boarding school and all students integrate fully into all aspects of school life.
We are pleased to offer boarding places to girls from age 11 to 18 years old.
Visiting Rathdown School
We run open days and personal visits can be arranged by appointment throughout the year for individual families to come and see our lovely school and boarding facilities.
Please view our Virtual Tour.
Why not arrange to meet our staff and students at a mutually convenient time during any working school day?
If you live overseas but have the opportunity to visit Ireland, please contact us to arrange a visit during your trip so that you can truly experience the atmosphere and ethos of our school. You will have much to discover and consider when choosing a boarding school and we are here to help you.
Come and see us on a normal working day to take a close-up look at Rathdown in action.
