Alexandra College - Dublin
Alexandra College is a private, single-sex girl's school located in Milltown, Dublin, Ireland, operating under a Church of Ireland ethos. It serves girls from ages 4 to 19 as boarding or day pupils. The school is one of the most prestigious in Ireland and ranks highly in Leaving Certificate results tables. It is also one of the most exclusive fee-paying schools in all of Ireland.
The school was founded in 1866 and takes its name from Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the school's patron. The school colours, red and white, were adopted from the Danish flag in her honour. Alexandra College was founded by Anne Jellicoe, a Quaker educationist, in the name of furthering women's education. Under Anne Jellicoe, the school grew from a small establishment focused on providing a governess-style education to Irish Protestant ladies into a pioneering force for women's rights and education, providing an education to women equivalent to that available in boys' schools, with a grounding in mathematics, history, classics and philosophy.
Alexandra College offers seven-day boarding to girls from 1st year to 6th year. The residence is at the heart of school life and living at Alexandra offers more time to do everything. Health and fitness are promoted and everyone is encouraged to join in and have fun. All meals are taken in the large dining room where a varied menu caters to every taste and dietary requirement. Boarders are cared for by experienced and committed staff in a strong family atmosphere. A strong partnership exists between staff, parents and pupils.
