From the Beginning
The North Dublin Muslim National School was opened as the second state-funded Muslim Primary School in 2001 under the Trusteeship and Patronage of the Islamic Foundation of Ireland. The school opened in response to increased demand from families for places within a Muslim primary school, particularly in North Dublin, and began in temporary accommodation in Cabra, Dublin 7 with three class teachers and 47 pupils in September 2001. |
Where We Are Now
The North Dublin Muslim National School has grown immensely since 2001, and now caters for over 320 pupils from Dublin city and its suburbs. The school is continuing to grow and currently has twelve mainstream classes, one ASD class and six full-time special education teachers. |

In keeping with the Primary School Curriculum (1999) and the Primary Language Curriculum, the school follows a well balanced and broadly based curriculum, which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, intellectual and physical development of all pupils.
It is the policy of the management of the school, that the school will follow curricular programmes prescribed by the Department of Education and Skills, insofar as practical, possible and compliant with the distinctly Islamic Ethos of the school, which may be amended from time to time in accordance with Section 9 and 30 of the Education Act (1998).
