About the school:
John Scottus secondary school is a unique school in the south of Dublin that offers boys and girls an excellent education in a safe and secure environment. Students are encouraged to reach their full potential and the teaching staff empower students to grow into adults of strength and good character, achieving more than they think possible at the academic level. They aim to develop curious, committed, caring and calm learners who have a big vision of what they can contribute to the world around them.
The curriculum at John Scottus is based on designing learning experiences that encourage the child to develop habits of stillness, attention and enquiry. To do this it gives students systematic exposure to a wide range of subjects, such as philosophy, classical studies, well-being, art, music and drama. Supporting these teaching and learning strategies, the learner is at the heart of the learning process, and in each class, learners are invited to do, to think, to feel and to be self-aware.
At John Scottus School they aim for all students to flourish personally and academically. Regular practice of meditation and mindfulness strengthens focus, enhances awareness and connects the student to a sense of quiet presence whether in stillness or in activity.
