    Its a private boarding and day school with a methodist* ethos. Lots of facilities and extra-curricular stuff there but you do certainly pay for it. Seems to be a good school.

    *Think so anyway, definitely a protestant denomination.

    Yes, it's Methodist: the clue is in the name.

    I imagine that the number of Methodists in the school is relatively small.

    I'm not sure about the 'ethos' of Wesley, but there's definitely only a tiny amount that are students in the college (would make sense given the tiny amount of methodists in the country as a whole). From a couple of friends I have who went to school there (would've left 10 years ago) there was a relatively large amount of foreign students, and students of different religions. There seems to be a huge emphasis on diverse activities, so none of your two sports and debating. It's also on pretty nice grounds.

    Why do you want to know about it? Specifically, what are you hoping to learn here that you can't get from the school's website, or other sources?

    Does anybody know anything about the secondary school in Dublin16, Ballinteer? I've just been accepted into the school but I don't know much about it. All I know is that:
    ~it's a methodist school
    ~it's one of the top schools in Ireland http://www.schooldays.ie/articles/about-school-league-tables
    ~they won the all island school choir competition last year.

    I really need to know more! :)

    Why did you apply to a school you don't know about?

    What do you want to know?

    It costs a good few shillings to go there.

    i went to wesley college but did my leaving back in 1995. while it is a methodist or protestant scholl, it is very much multi denominational.

    facilities and and extra cirricular activities are great. i really enjoyed my time there.

    i really benefitted from going to a mixed school as well. much better than all boy or all girl schools
