Rockwell College
Rockwell College, set by a beautiful lake, is a top boarding school in Ireland. It started in 1864 and is the only Catholic boarding school for high school students nationwide. The school is part of the Spiritan Education Trust, a group of ten schools with a similar belief system.
At Rockwell College, kids aged 12 to 19, whether they live at school or go home every day, learn in a welcoming and global environment. Students come from over 20 countries, making it a diverse and friendly place. Boys and girls study together, helping them get ready for a world that values diversity. The inclusive atmosphere promotes teamwork, respect, and understanding, improving social skills and self-esteem.
In the Spiritan tradition, Rockwell College focuses on developing students academically and spiritually, socially, culturally, and in sports. The school encourages students to excel in and out of the classroom. While exam results matter, Rockwell also cares about the well-being of students. The school provides a safe and accessible environment, and the staff organizes activities beyond regular classes.
The school emphasizes Christian values through celebrations, charity events, and student involvement with local schools for those with disabilities. The Boarding School Residence is home to 120 boys, creating a family away from home for Irish and international students. Boarding girls live with vetted host families, making their experience unique and introducing them to people worldwide.
Rockwell College prioritizes student care. Each year, a senior staff member oversees student well-being. The school also has a Career Guidance Counsellor, nurses, and a Chaplaincy team offering guidance and pastoral care. The collective effort of these caring staff members ensures that every student is personally looked after and becomes an essential part of the Rockwell community.
