of over 170 years in the Jesuit approach to education. The school is fee-paying but

Clongowes Wood College SJ
The mission of Clongowes Wood College is to educate its
pupils according to the best traditions and highest standards of Jesuit schooling
and the values of the Gospel, as expressed in The Characteristics of Jesuit Education.
As
a boarding school located in beautiful surroundings twenty-one miles from Dublin
and drawing its 450 pupils from all over Ireland and abroad, Clongowes aims to create
an open, happy, stimulating, mutually respectful community in which young people
are able to develop the full range of their talents and abilities in a balanced,
integrated and generous way.
A Clongowes education seeks to inspire a sense of wonder
in God’s creation, providing the wider community with resourceful and determined
young men, with strong inter-personal skills and leadership qualities. In an overall
sense, the aim is to educate each pupil to think and speak for himself, use his initiative,
and provide leadership where required. In the famous dictum of the late Fr. General
of the Society of Jesus, Pedro Arrupe, a Clongownian should be a "man for others".
Morale
at Clongowes is high among pupils and staff. In co-operation with parents we are
dedicated to ensuring a happy living and learning environment in order to produce
confident and well-rounded young adults.
