Blackrock College - Dublin
Blackrock College, set in 56 acres of rolling parkland on the broad sweep of Dublin Bay, lies four miles from the city centre. Founded by the Holy Ghost Fathers in 1860, Blackrock is one of the Order’s five schools in Ireland and is run by the Congregation in close co-operation with a dedicated group of lay personnel.
Blackrock uniquely mixes the advantages of a large school, in terms of subject choice, companionship and extra-curricular activities with an administrative structure which sub-divides the College into small groups. This provides an intimate and personal environment in which each boy may reach his full potential.
The boarding school, located in Williamstown Castle, is home to one hundred boys from all year groups. Boarders are, and always have been, unique members of the Blackrock community. Their experience of the school is, by its nature, a very comprehensive one. Traditionally, the bond between boarders and Blackrock has been particularly strong.
Tradition is one of the pillars upon which the College is built. A strong Catholic ethos has always been an intrinsic component of school life. In Blackrock, faith is nurtured. A religious and moral education is seen as fundamental to the development of the individual.
