Welcome to

John Scottus Primary Old Conna

At John Scottus, we provide a well-rounded education and lifelong skills for academic and personal growth.

At John Scottus Primary Old Conna, nestled in the heart of Rathmichael, children flourish within a nurturing and diverse community. Here, learning is guided by a compassionate and reflective philosophy, creating a space where every child feels valued and inspired to grow.

At John Scottus, we nurture self-mastery, strength of character, and compassion, empowering each child to contribute uniquely to the world. Our ethos centres on character development and quality learning, guided by the values of stillness, attention, enquiry, and unity.

We believe every child holds limitless potential, with innate gifts waiting to be discovered and shared. By nurturing mind, body, and spirit, we offer an education that inspires creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. Daily meditation fosters calm and focus, helping students pause, reflect, and unlock their true potential.

With small class sizes, each child receives personalised attention, building confidence and critical-thinking skills. Our serene countryside campus and outdoor learning spaces spark creativity and deepen understanding, offering an environment for growth and discovery.

At John Scottus, we guide children in the art of thoughtful inquiry, equipping them with the skills to thrive inside and outside of the classroom.
