Rathgar Junior School is nestled between Rathgar and Rathmines, at 62-63 Grosvenor Road, Dublin 6. The school was founded by Isabel Douglas in 1919 and celebrated its centenary last year.
Intimate Classroom Sizes
Rathgar Junior School believes that at its heart lie the children: they breathe life into the building every day. The staff strive to create an atmosphere of love and caring, where school is a happy experience for the children and where the basic principles of respect, honesty, forgiveness and consideration for others and their property are central. Rathgar Junior School is non-denominational but is founded on the Quaker ethos.
Our Community
RJS is a community, where children’s physical and intellectual powers are developed, giving them a desire for knowledge through arousing their interest and helping them find pleasure in work itself. Children are encouraged to use their initiative and to drive their own learning through questioning and exploration.
Fully Independent
RJS is an independent school which teaches the National Curriculum and has a rich, extra, hidden curriculum, designed to inspire the children and to develop their creativity and imagination. It has eight classes from Kindergarten through to Form 6 and an experienced Resource team.
Active Administration
RJS is a fee-paying school and receives no financial support from the Department of Education. The school is a member of the Association of Independent Junior Schools. Rathgar Junior School is a registered Limited company, a not-for-profit organisation, which has charitable status.
Project Ignite
We are delighted to officially launch Project Ignite which marks a new era for RJS. We would be grateful for any parent who is willing to donate time or expertise to help us achieve this goal. I look forward to sharing updates on our progress over the next few months.
