The Teresian Junior School

Welcome to the Teresian
Junior School

A Nurturing Environment for Growth and Development

Our Junior School offers a single-stream class structure, providing a personalised and supportive learning environment. Our dedicated team of class and specialist teachers collaborates to foster critical thinking, adaptability, and innovation. A key advantage of our school is the comprehensive wrap-around care we offer, providing before and after-school care from 8 AM to 6 PM daily.

Recognising the evolving demands of the job market, we prioritise equipping our students with the skills necessary for future success. Our curriculum emphasises the development of transferable skills, with a particular focus on STEM subjects and the integration of ICT across all disciplines.

Beyond the standard Irish Primary Curriculum, our Junior School offers specialised instruction in violin, singing, physical education, drama, and Spanish as part of our comprehensive daily curriculum. These subjects are included in the school fees.

At The Teresian Junior School, we foster a strong sense of community, celebrating the unique talents and personalities of each student. Our teachers work collaboratively to provide a supportive and encouraging environment, empowering our students to achieve their full potential in academics, leadership, sports, music, art, debating, and other extracurricular activities.

Our motto – joy, fortitude, and love – guides everything we do. We strive to deliver a holistic education that nurtures the whole child. Our wide range of specialist subjects and extracurricular activities ensure that each girl experiences success throughout her educational journey at The Teresian School.

What People Are Saying

  • As a former pupil of The Teresian School I was keen to send my daughters to the School. The Teresian School has a great community spirit and it encourages the students to be confident, caring and thoughtful. I believe that the small class numbers and the resultant time each student gets from the excellent teachers is integral to the ethos of the School. The School has benefitted from significant development over the past few years in terms of Sports and teaching facilities which will benefit many years of Teresian pupils.

    - Amanda, Junior & Secondary School Student

  • “After 16 years of fun, friendship and fantastic memories, the Teresian school and spirit will never leave me. The school has not only educated me and prepared me for my exams, but it has also helped in making me the person I am today.”

  • "Teresians really stepped up wonderfully to supporting the students in continuing their education during the lockdown. My daughter especially looked forward to the Zoom class interactions and Amy was amazing in providing content and guiding the girls through their school work. Aled, Aine and Kevin provided a holistic and rounded education and once again, Lily loved these interactive classes. Keep up the great work."

  • "Our daughter joined the Teresian School in 2017 for her first year of secondary school. From the moment she arrived she was encouraged to contribute and to belong to her new school. Academic achievement is excellent in The Teresian School, sports are well organised. Every student is given opportunity to take part in hockey, basketball, athletics and various other sports and activities including tennis, yoga and more. I would highly recommend The Teresian School as the secondary school to set your daughter up for a successful, resilient future, where she is enabled to live life according to her values and become a positive contributor to society."
