About Us

Killorglin Community College is a co-educational and multi belief secondary school under the governing body of Kerry Education & Training Board. We are based in the South West of Ireland in a small town called Killorglin. Located in the province of Munster, Killorglin is situated on the famous 'Ring of Kerry' in the county of Kerry. Killorglin Community College is a dynamic school, full of life and innovation. Our school values and seeks to promote, at all times, the qualities of courtesy, loyalty, learning and responsibility. We see education not just as imparting knowledge and skills, but also as providing for the holistic development of our students. Our school has excellent facilities to cater for a wide-ranging student population and our use of digital technologies extends to every subject department. Active learning methodologies are used throughout the school and has been commended by numerous Irish Department of Education inspections.

Ours is a teaching Staff marked with a creative energy, generosity of spirit and dedication to the education of young people. Ours is a student body full of energy and vitality, young people who are open to the possibilities which the school offers them to grow and develop, in order to realise their own unique potential. While academic excellence is essential, the pastoral care and happiness of our students is of paramount importance to us. The Staff seek to ensure that each student feels accepted in and part of our school community.

We have extended our education programmes to include eTwinning and Erasmus+ to broaden our students knowledge of Europe and to reach out to other schools across the European Community to collaborate.
