Mount Anville Secondary School

Last updated

Mount Anville Secondary School is a Roman Catholic, voluntary all-girls post-primary school in Goatstown, a suburb of Dublin, in Ireland. It was originally an all-boarding school, but due to decreased demand for such schools has since become a day school. It has approximately 659 students, and is attached to Mount Anville Montessori Junior School and Mount Anville Convent.
