Midleton College
Education in Cork

Midleton College has been in existence as a boarding and day school for over 300 years. However, the College respects and welcomes applications from those of other faith traditions who are in sympathy with the Church Of Ireland ethos. This high academic achievement is combined with a holistic view of the educational, spiritual and personal development of each pupil.
The College was founded by a charitable endowment from Lady Elizabeth Villiers in 1696 and prioritises, in the first instance, children whose families are members of the Church Of Ireland. In that time the College has established and maintained a tradition of high academic achievement. The College community, approximately 350 pupils, reflects the diversity of faith backgrounds that is the reality of the Irish society today.
A school the size of Midleton College, both pupil and staff, allows for the careful nurturing of the individual within the college community.
