History
Scoil Mhuire National School forms part of the Mount Sackville educational tradition established by the Sisters of St Joseph of Cluny. The Sisters arrived in Dublin in 1860, leading to the foundation of Mount Sackville Secondary School in 1864. Inspired by the vision of Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey, the school has long championed holistic education rooted in Christian values. Today the primary school continues this legacy, recently expanding enrolment to include boys while maintaining its historic commitment to care, compassion and respect.
