History
Scoil Naomh Áine was founded in 1969 by the Presentation Sisters, who sought to continue the philosophy of Nano Nagle by promoting respect for self and others and sensitivity to individual needs. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in March 2019. While the Presentation Sisters are no longer trustees, the school now operates under the trusteeship of the Dublin Diocese.
