Drumnigh Montessori Primary School has been educating children on the North Side of Dublin since 1962 when a small group of parents decided to get together and educate their children through the Montessori method of education.  The school began in a house in Raheny before moving to Drumnigh House in Portmarnock.  The school has outgrown its previous premises and currently we use three classrooms in St. Columcilles School in Donaghmede.

Drumnigh is a small private not for profit primary school that educates children up to 12 years old.  Currently we have 41 pupils and the school comprises two 3 - 6 classes and one 6 - 9 class with our first 9-12 class due to start in Sept 2009.

A board of management made up of parents manages the school. Over the years the school has gained a reputation for providing the highest standards of education.

The national school curriculum is fully covered while the Montessori method of education is used. Our school is a registered AATI (Association AMI Teachers of Ireland) and an accredited IMEB (Irish Montessori Education Board) school.
