St. Kevin's College (Irish Coláiste Chaomhín) is a Roman Catholic day secondary school for boys in Glasnevin, Dublin, Ireland.[1] The school was founded in 1967 by the Christian Brothers and is now under the trusteeship of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust. It is dedicated to St. Kevin of Glendalough, the patron saint of Dublin, and is built on lands previously owned by the Ball family in the 16th century. The current principal is Eoghan Rooney. The school has approximately 550 students.[1]

St. Kevin's offers the Junior Certificate, an optional Transition Year, the Leaving Certificate, Leaving Certificate Applied and the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme. It participates in the Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools initiative and the School Completion Programme. A Department of Education report in 2014 described the quality of teaching and learning at the school as 'good' or 'very good' with some instances of excellent practice.[2]
