CBS Kilkenny (Irish: Meánscoil na mBráithre Criostaí) is a leading academic all-boys Roman Catholic school located in Kilkenny, Ireland. It has a strong sporting tradition in hurling,[1] but also fields teams in many other sports. It is renowned for its award winning choirs and Music department. It is currently located on James's Street in Kilkenny. However, construction has started on a new state of the art campus on Dunningstown Rd, Kilkenny, and the school will expand to 1000+ students and relocate there early in 2026.[2]
