About the School

HISTORY

There have been Christian Brothers schools in Enniscorthy continuously since 1857. The schools have been in the Cathedral Yard, the Shannon, Templeshannon, the Island Road, the Market Square and the present site on Mill Park Road. For many years they offered an unrivalled academic education to boys in Enniscorthy and its rural hinterland. With the recent addition of practical subjects in the 1990’s the school now offers an excellent and comprehensive education. The completion of the new school next year will provide an ultra modern educational resource for the area.
