Wesley College
Wesley College is a co-educational, day and boarding school with over 880 students. Founded in 1845 for the Methodist Community in Ireland, Wesley College combines all of the best traditions of the past with modern, state of the art facilities. While priority is given to students from the main Protestant denominations, the College prides itself on its inclusive community spirit and welcomes students of all faiths. Wesley College is committed to academic excellence. Students are offered a wide curriculum and taught by a professional and dedicated staff. We also offer a range of extra-curricular and sporting activities in the belief that these assist a sound general education and contribute to the whole person. The College boasts outstanding facilities on a large site at the foot of the Dublin mountains, providing the ideal environment for students in our care.

 St Columba's College
Founded in 1843, St Columba's College is a co-educational boarding school of 300 pupils, aged 11 to 18, in a beautiful setting at the foothills of the mountains overlooking Dublin Bay. We are seven miles south of Dublin city centre. We do have local day pupils, but about 80% of pupils are seven-day boarders. The pursuit of academic excellence is the everyday priority of our highly qualified professional staff. There are 38 full-time members of the teaching staff for the 300 pupils, and the resulting overall pupil-to-staff ratio of under 10-to-1 means small classes and close individual attention. In regular formal staff meetings, individuals’ academic problems are discussed. The academic progress of each pupil is at all times closely monitored.
