Rathdown School offers Full, Weekly and Day Boarding and Day School places to girls aged 12 - 18 years. Girls aged 3 - 11 years are accepted in the Junior School as day pupils only. The two sections of the School, Junior and Senior, share a 17 acre site with excellent facilities for games. The classes are all taught in new classrooms and specialist rooms, built in the 1990s. The very latest computers and other equipment are available and the School has a new Library and full-time Librarian.
The School is a good example of 'value-added' education, where each pupil can realise her full potential in academic, sporting, musical and artistic areas. The School enjoys a reputation for all-round excellence. Scholarship entry examinations are held annually for 12+ entrants.
