St. Aidan’s Community College was founded in 1983 to provide a comprehensive system of post-primary education for the boys and girls of the community. The College has a complete range of the most up-to-date equipment and facilities necessary for the teaching of a comprehensive curriculum to Leaving Certificate Higher Level in all our subjects.

The College Spirit is enshrined in our Motto: "Bíodh bhur solas ag taithneamh - Let your light shine". Each pupil has ideals to cherish and talents to develop. The aim of the College is to ensure that each pupil lets his or her light shine; cherishes his or her ideals whilst respecting the ideals of others; develops his or her talents whilst respecting the talents of all.
