Coláiste Íde

Tradition, Talent, and Academic Excellence at Coláiste Íde

Located on the historic Lord Ventry estate in Dingle, Coláiste Íde is Ireland’s only seven-day, all-Irish boarding school for girls. Our school is set within 104 acres of stunning woodland, providing a safe and stimulating environment where students consistently achieve top academic results nationally.

Guided by our motto, “Glaine Ár gCroí” (Purity of Heart), we focus on developing each girl’s unique talents through a broad curriculum and a vibrant tradition of music and Irish heritage.

Beyond academics, our boarding experience fosters independence, lifelong friendships, and the cognitive benefits of bilingual education. We are dedicated to nurturing confident, highly qualified young women who are ready to take their place in society.

This idyllic rural setting offers the perfect balance of modern education and rich cultural tradition for our 150 students.
