SEK International School Dublin is a leading IB school in Ireland. Small by design, with an emphasis on personalised learning, the school's unique teaching and learning model is built on inquiry-based learning to promote critical and creative thinking.
Located in a stunning natural setting, where the landscape of the Irish countryside meets the Atlantic coast, between the towns of Bray and Greystones. The latter was named one of the best towns in the world to live as a family, and is 30 km from Dublin. SEK-Dublin combines architectural tradition with cutting-edge technology, spanning over 250,000 m2 of grounds and boasting extensive green areas where our students can enjoy a diverse range of sports and outdoor activities, while enhancing their academic development.
SEK-Dublin is the first school in Ireland authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation to teach the Middle Years Programme (12-16 years) and the Diploma Programme (16-18 years), taught fully in English with optional languages, including German, French and Spanish.
SEK-Dublin opened its doors in 1981. The success of the school is based on several factors including: a multicultural team of highly trained teachers; the effective use of learning technologies; an individualised programme to cover the educational needs of each student; small class sizes; and an outstanding programme guaranteed by SEK schools' standards of excellence. Aware that education does not only take place in the classroom, for our boarding students we offer residential options with carefully selected local host families or in our on-campus high quality residential facilities, and diverse extracurricular and cultural activities. These aspects combine to nurture the holistic personal and academic development of our students. This all-round education serves them well for their future, enabling them to become mature and independent individuals, and providing them with lasting memories of their experiences at school.
In all SEK International Schools we are able to offer a quality online learning model in which students are able to continue their learning if necessary, with synchronous and asynchronous classes, and with personalized monitoring by teachers and tutors, which has proved successful with students and families.
