St. Kilian’s admits pupils in accordance with its ethos and the regulations of the Department of Education and Skills concerning age and previous schooling. Pupils entering Kindergarten (Junior Infants) must be 4 years of age by 31st May of the year of entry. Pupils may enter Primary School at all levels without prior knowledge of German.
Enrolment into 7th Class (1st Year) without knowledge of German is possible if places permit. However, entry into 8th-11th Class (2nd-5th Year) is predicated on prior knowledge of German, equivalent to the level of those classes. More detailed information is available in our Admissions Policy.
We also have an annual Open Day in October during which you can view the school and meet teachers and students. Please see our school calendar for the date.

Family Rebate
We offer families with more than one child attending the school a family rebate at the following rates:
- Families with two children in the school, 10% fee rebate applies
- Families with three children in the school, 12.5% fee rebate applies
- For families with four or more children, 15% fee rebate applies
This rebate is available to all families who pay their fees on time (per year in advance, per term in advance or by monthly direct debit). This scheme is reviewed by the Board of Management annually and they reserve the right to change or withdraw the rebate in any future year. No rebate is applicable to the Transition Year supplement, as this reflects the actual additional costs during this year.
Bi-Lingual History fee remission
Those taking Bi-Lingual History in 11th and 12th class qualify for a fee remission of 20%, provided they pass the relevant exams. Please email accounts@kilians.com for further information.
