Admissions
Alexandra College is an all-girls day and boarding school in Dublin, Ireland that enrols students aged 3 to 19 in our Preschool, Junior and Senior Schools.
An Alex education goes beyond the classroom, equipping a girl with everything she needs to soar as a woman and preparing her for university and her career, while giving her a solid foundation for life.
Choosing the right school for your daughter is not an insignificant decision. Our website aims to give you some feel for all that Alex is - but that is a near-impossible task!
