The Teresian School is a Catholic school under the trusteeship of The Teresian Association, a group committed to living Christian values in their family and working life. The Association was founded in 1911 by St Pedro Poveda in Spain and is a Private Lay Association of the Faithful. The Association runs a number of schools in Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines, together with the school in Dublin. These schools follow Poveda’s educational ideals.
The Teresian School Board of Management is comprised of volunteers appointed by the Trustees of the school who give their time generously and who bring special and unique skills and experience. Agreed Board of Management reports are available on request from the Secondary School Office. secondaryschooloffice@teresian.ie
