Founded in 1986 by a group of like-minded parents studying philosophy, the School’s ethos has
a philosophical base, and at its centre holds the aspiration that each pupil will see themselves
as unlimited, empowering them to discover their own unique talent. Self-discovery, Resilience and Universality are at the heart of a John Scott education. In this way, John Scottus offers an extremely unique educational experience. It is one of the smaller schools on our portfolio with 150 students enrolled. The school is housed in a beautiful Georgian building on the main route to Dublin’s city centre.

• Boasts a Senior Cycle Academy, providing personalised academic mentoring, career guidance & advice on maintaining well-being & personal development.
