Alexandra College Dublin

For over 150 years we have helped girls mature into young women with a balance of knowledge, experience and values that makes them ready to enjoy their lives and careers.

Ready to accept challenges, to keep learning, to stretch themselves and to help others along the way.

We know that learning is about discovering, understanding and using information, so we encourage our students to have enquiring minds, to think carefully about what they learn, and to be open to discussion and debate. We help them develop the necessary mindset to value the learning process itself.

We offer boarding from age 10 on a 5-day, 7-day, or flexible basis. Boarding plays a central part in the life of the College, lending the school the energy, warmth and fun of a village community.

Alexandra College is a community of learners in which every member is encouraged to support, challenge and help each other for their own good and for the common good. Our boarders are central to the buzz and fun of our campus community.

We know that academic learning is just part of the picture and that academic excellence goes hand-in-hand with a full spectrum of activities. So we run excellent programmes in art, drama, music and sport that provide broad, healthy and creative development for all of our students. We ensure a warm friendly environment for our boarders. We show all our girls how to have balanced happy lives, how to pursue their interests and how important community and friendship are in all that they accomplish.

Our core values are independent thinking, diversity, respect and responsibility. Our goal is always to develop girls as inquisitive learners who are prepared for the challenges of life beyond school and university. They are taught to solve problems and love learning for its own sake.
