Loreto College, St Stephen's Green

[EduCativ]

The school, located in three adjoining buildings at 53-55 st. stephen’s green enjoys a city-center location. However, the majority of its students, drawn from a wide geographical area, largely come from the north and south Dublin suburbs, north County Dublin, County Meath, Co. Wicklow, and Co. Kildare. These have been the traditional catchment areas for the school over many years.
Each year, approximately thirty students from the Loreto Junior School (on the same site) enter the first year, making up about one-third of the annual intake. There is a small intake of students, generally from other schools, into other classes, when vacancies exist. Loreto College is a traditional school in that families, over generations, have tended to send their daughters there.
Ninety-six girls are admitted to the new first-year each autumn. They are divided into four class groups and this remains the pattern for the school. Class size remains at this level and year groups in the school do not exceed ninety-six students.
Welcome to the Loreto College St. Stephen’s Green website. The school was founded in 1833 in the tradition of Mary Ward (1585-1645). The Loreto principles of Truth, Justice, Freedom, Sincerity, and Joy underpin teaching and learning in “the Green”. All our endeavors are centered in God, rooted in Christ, and based on Gospel values. The education offered in the school is holistic with an emphasis on academia, extra-curricular activities, and social justice. A keen sense of community and collaborative teaching and learning is fostered by everyone. Each student is recognized and celebrated for her unique talents and gifts. Mary Ward encouraged us to “Do good and do it well”.
By exploring our website you will witness the wonderful achievements of the students and their teachers. You will discover the joy experienced by our students in learning, leadership, sport, music, art, and other extra-curricular activities. You will see how our students bear witness to the Loreto principles and become “seekers of Truth and doers of Justice”.
“In an atmosphere of mutual respect and justice, we are a community that aims to provide a rich and diverse curriculum catering for the needs of each student. We provide a holistic education wherein we strive for excellence in the pursuit of knowledge. Social concerns and spiritual values are central to our educational philosophy, while sporting and cultural endeavors are encouraged. Each student is challenged to realize her full potential and to recognize the dignity of each human being”.
