About

Our school motto is drawn from the characteristic ethos of Spiritan overarching values:
Believe, Belong, Become.

Libermann Spiritan School, Templeogue (LSST) is a co-educational Special School founded in the Spiritan ethos, under the patronage of the Archdiocese of Dublin. Our school will provide a safe and caring, learning environment for autistic students with complex learning needs who require the support of a special school.

The age profile of our students is from four years of age up to 18 years of age. As per Department of Education regulations, students will leave school at the end of the school year in which they reach the age of 18 years old. To facilitate this age band, the range of classes extends from primary to post primary. Class groupings will be based on a combination of age, appropriate peer groupings, and the needs of each child.

Our school opened on 4 September 2023 on grounds adjoining Templeogue College, on Templeville Road, Dublin 6. The permanent Libermann Spiritan School, Templeogue, will be planned for and constructed over the coming years, sharing the grounds of Templeogue College, in a new purpose built structure.

LSST is underpinned by Spiritan values and is dedicated to educational inclusivity and excellence. Our admissions statement and policy for the year 2025/2026 are available now for download from this website for your consultation.

Principal’s Welcome

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of the staff and pupils, to the website for Libermann Spiritan School. We are a school catering for children aged 4-18 years with a diagnosis of Autism and Complex Needs.

I hope that this website will provide you with an insight into the ethos and atmosphere of our school.

We invite you to see how we cherish and support our pupils to flourish in the caring and stimulating environment of teaching and learning. I am extremely lucky to be the principal of this wonderful school and have an amazing staff team that make my job so enjoyable.

We place emphasis on learning and achievement for all pupils with a focus on everyone’s level of ability where all progress is celebrated and rewarded.

Hopefully it will be easy to tell how happy the students are here at Libermann Spiritan School.
