Stratford College is an independent co-educational multi-denominational day school on the junction of Zion Road and Orwell Road, Dublin, Ireland predominantly for people of the Jewish faith. One of the main founders was Elaine Feldman.[1][2] The school is located adjacent to Herzog Park.
The school evolved from the opening of Stratford National School in September 1952 on Terenure Road East with a small group of children from the Jewish national school on Bloomfield Avenue in Portobello.[3] The school takes its name from a house by the name of Stratford on Terenure Road East which was designed by the architect Thomas Drew in 1877.[4][5]
The school building on Zion Road was originally a house built in 1873.[6] It was badly damaged in a fire caused by vandals in 1979 but reopened in 1983 with only the facade being retained.[7] The building was originally designed by the architect Alfred Edwin Jones.
As of 2023, the school is officially multi-denominational.
School fees for the 2022–23 academic year were €4,400.[8]
