Welcome to the website of Marian College a voluntary non-fee-paying Catholic secondary day school for boys in Dublin, Ireland founded by the Marist Brothers in 1954.

Our motto is: Optimum Optare - the pursuit of excellence.

and our mission is to promote the fullest realisation of each student in the light of Gospel values

and

to provide opportunities for excellence for all of our students - irrespective of background or means - through the provision of an holistic educational experience which aims at the highest standards of learning and behaviour.

We thus have a vision of a school community which encourages our students to have the self-belief to change the world, where the students are helped to know themselves, to understand the culture from which they spring, and to grow spiritually as well as physically, emotionally and intellectually.

We demonstrate a special concern for the deprived and the disadvantaged, we do not define the success of one individual in terms of superiority over others, and we make every effort to ensure that the uniqueness and dignity of each person is respected, and responded to, especially through our pastoral care practices.

In the search for excellence, the students will be helped by teachers of spirit, energy, humour and idealism who believe in the importance of self-esteem, character, integrity and conviction, who are particularly proud of the happy, disciplined and caring environment that has always been the hallmark of the College.
