Admissions
Enquire
If you would like to talk to someone regarding admission into our Primary or Secondary School, please do not hesitate to contact the School & Admissions Secretary, Jacinta Kane, on secretary@kilians.com or by phone +353 (0)1 2883323. St. Kilian’s admits pupils in accordance with its ethos and the regulations of the Department of Education and Skills concerning age and previous schooling.
Pupils entering Kindergarten (Junior Infants) must be 4 years of age by 31st May of the year of entry. Pupils may enter St. Kilian’s at levels other than Kindergarten (Junior Infants) or 1st Year; however, entry into 2nd, 3rd, 5th or 6th Year of Secondary School (classes 8, 9, 11 and 12) is predicated on prior knowledge of German, equivalent to the level of those classes. Pupils may enter Transition year (10th class) without German if numbers permit the establishment of a beginners’ class in any given year.
We also have an annual Open Day in October during which you can view the school and meet teachers and students. Please see our school calendar for the date.
Applications to 1st Year of Secondary School
Following the introduction of the School Admissions Act 2018, schools recognised by the Department of Education and Skills are no longer in a position to accept applications for enrolment before October 1st in the year preceding the year of entry.
Applications to 1st year in our Secondary School for the school year 2021/22 can, therefore, be made from 1st October to 31st October 2020 only. Applications received after 31st October 2020 or for future years of entry cannot be processed, in line with the School Admissions Act 2018.
Please note that all places for 1st year for the school year 2021/22 have been allocated based on the waiting list the school maintained up until 10th February 2020, in accordance with the School Admissions Act 2018. If you would like your son/daughter’s name to be added to the waiting list for September 2021, please complete the application form.
NO PAYMENT IS REQUIRED AT THIS TIME AS WE ARE OVERSUBSCRIBED.

Family Rebate
We offer families with more than one child attending the school a family rebate at the following rates:
- Families with two children in the school, 10% fee rebate applies
- Families with three children in the school, 12.5% fee rebate applies
- For families with four or more children, 15% fee rebate applies
This rebate is available to all families who pay their fees on time (per year in advance, per term in advance or by monthly direct debit). This scheme is reviewed by the Board of Management annually and they reserve the right to change or withdraw the rebate in any future year. No rebate is applicable to the Transition Year supplement, as this reflects the actual additional costs during this year.
Bi-Lingual History fee remission
Those taking Bi-Lingual History in 11th and 12th class qualify for a fee remission of 20%, provided they pass the relevant exams. Please email accounts@kilians.com for further information.
