Stepaside Educate together (SETSS) opened its doors in September 2016 under the patronage of Educate Together. The school’s ethos is founded on four key principles: co-education, equality, democracy, and a student-centred approach.
Dedicated to excellence, SETSS aims to help every student realise their full potential. Embracing a 21st-century learning model, the school fosters an environment where students grow not only academically but also in essential life skills. Through this approach, they are encouraged to think critically, act creatively, and innovate as they prepare for the future. Wellbeing and active citizenship are also central to the student experience at SETSS, forming a core part of their educational journey.
At Stepaside ETSS, they are committed to fostering a collaborative school community where every member is empowered to shape a dynamic, forward-thinking, and digitally enriched learning experience -supported by clear and consistently applied structures. Our students are encouraged to take ownership of their academic progress, develop strong organisational habits, and reflect on the impact of their actions on themselves and others. Our goal is to provide an education that not only builds essential skills but also uncovers individual talents, broadens perspectives, and equips students for success in the senior cycle and beyond. Their core values include Kindness and Respect, Academic Motivation, Innovation, Nurturing and Holistic Education.
The school has state of the art facilities giving you the feel of being in a University.. At this school students are very important and have a lot to say about day to day running of the school through the school council. To further show how they are a progressive school students are welcome to come to school in their normal clothes. This is one of very few Irish schools that do not ask students to wear a uniform.
