Ardtona House School is a small independent, fee-paying Montessori pre-school and primary school educating boys and girls until age 8. The school is a home away from home for pupils, operating from an old manor house in the suburbs of South Dublin. The school offers a Montessori education with a Roman Catholic ethos but is open to pupils of all faiths and none.
ABOUT
Ardtona House School was founded in 1942 at the behest of the nearby Church of the Good Shepherd who perceived a need for a childcare and early education facility for parishioners in the diocese. The school, initially a nursery, was established in Ardtona House, for which it is named. It has since expanded to a primary school offering education up to 2nd Class, akin to the English pre-preparatory school.
