The Boarding School
Head of Boarding: Ms V Meagher
Boarding has been an integral part of the school since its foundation. Students from Ireland and abroad have a unique opportunity to experience a wide range of cultural diversity and form friendships that will last a lifetime. Our resident staff aim to provide students with an environment that is safe and happy.
Students come to board for a variety and combination of reasons such as their homes are too far away for a daily commute, and or they want to be away from home distractions and temptations at a time of important study. Some parents wish their children to have some experience of living away from home prior to moving on to third level study - an important factor when you consider that nearly all Dundalk Grammar School students go on to the third level educational course (with c. 80% obtaining an offer of a place on the course of their choice).
