Established in 1864 in the heartlands of Tipperary, Rockwell College is one of Ireland’s leading co-educational boarding schools for second-level students. Located on a picturesque lakeside estate, Rockwell College is immersed in history, but while there have been many changes throughout the years, providing students with a world-class education has remained at the forefront. Rockwell College was founded in 1864 by the Holy Ghost Fathers, starting from the former country house which remains at the centre of the expansion of Rockwell College to this day.
