Welcome to St. Laurence College - Loughlinstown, Co. Dublin, Ireland

St. Laurence College was established in 1967 by the Cincinnati Province of the Society of Mary (The Marianist Order), a religious congregation of priests and brothers founded in France in 1817 by Blessed William Joseph Chaminade.

The College is a voluntary secondary school. It has been co-educational since 1973. A number of Marianist religious continue to be active members of the school staff. This year the enrolment is just over 500 students.

While members of the order are now active in a wide variety of occupations and professions, since their inception the Marianists have been in the vanguard of educational progress, administering primary, secondary and university level schools and colleges in many countries around the world. The only Marianist School in Ireland, St. Laurence College, forms part of the order's USA province.

In keeping with the order's ethos and philosophy, each Marianist School aims to
     * Educate for formation in faith
       * Provide an integral, quality education
       * Educate in family spirit
       * Educate for service, justice, and peace
       * Educate for adaptation and change.
