St Nathy's College is a Catholic secondary school in Ballaghaderreen in County Roscommon, Ireland. It is the diocesan college for the Diocese of Achonry. It is one of the oldest secondary schools in Ireland, having been founded in 1810.[1] The School was located from 1893–96 in Edmundstown House, the former residence of the Bishop. The Diocese purchased Ballaghaderreen Military Barracks from the War Office, and the School moved there in 1896. In 1995 the school ceased to be a boarding school.
