Overview The Royal School Armagh was founded by James I in 1608 and granted its Royal Charter by Charles I in 1627. It has been regarded since then as one of the leading schools in Ireland and a school which achieves considerable academic success.
The school is co-educational with modern facilities. The school welcomes children of all faiths and offers an excellent caring and learning environment of over 800 pupils from the ages of 4 to 18 with accommodation for 90 boarders including a new dedicated sixth form boarding facility which provides an effective transitional step between school and university.
All pupils study for GCSE examinations and the vast majority continue to study for A-Levels and then progress to universities and colleges throughout the United Kingdom.
Our Mission Statement The Royal School Armagh aims to provide its pupils with an education which in its wholeness will enable them to achieve their full potential in academic, social, moral and spiritual terms. The values of the School, both implicitly and explicitly, reflect and are informed by the reformed tradition of the Christian faith.
The School warmly welcomes the presence of pupils and staff of other Christian traditions, other world faiths and those with no religious convictions. The Royal School is wholly committed to whole education. Pupils acquire confidence by being encouraged into new experiences outside their comfort zone.
