Céad Míle Fáilte!

It is my honour to welcome you to Christian Brothers College (CBC), Monkstown Park.

CBC has a proud history that began over 170 years ago.  The Christian Brothers established the College in 1856 and were originally based on Eblana Avenue in Dún Laoghaire.  The school relocated to its current site in 1950, and Monkstown Park has been home ever since.

The College is a member of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust, which was established in 2008. We are guided by the Trust’s Charter, which outlines the pathway for the personal and social development of our students within a caring, Christian community of learning and teaching.

CBC is a vibrant school that continually strives for high standards in all areas. Academic excellence is a central part of College life, along with our many extra and co-curricular programmes that encourage our students to express themselves both academically and individually. Every student at CBC is encouraged to pursue excellence, not just in the classroom, but in all aspects of life.

Our professional and caring teaching and support staff care for our students both inside and outside the classroom. The sense of community and connection among staff, students and parents is one of CBC’s defining characteristics. This fosters a positive school environment where learning is valued by all.

We are currently in an exciting phase of the College’s Capital Development Plan: in 2023, the Board of Management invested €400,000 in replacing one of the old roofs in the College. Further investment by the Board of €1.8 million in 2025 delivered new Astro and grass pitches, floodlights, warm-up areas, a sprint track, and hard courts for tennis, soccer and basketball.  The final stage of the development plan will be the construction of a new Sports Hall.

As you explore our website, we hope you’ll get a flavour of who we are and what we do, as well as a glimpse of the wealth of experiences on offer to students at CBC. For a broader sense of life in the College, we invite you to follow us on Instagram at @cbcmonkstownpark, or contact our Admissions Office for a tour where you can experience daily life in Monkstown Park.

With every good wish.

Gerry Duffy,
Principal
