Castleknock College (Irish: Coláiste Caisleán Cnucha) is a voluntary Vincentian secondary school for boys, situated in the residential suburb of Castleknock, eight km (5.0 mi) west of Dublin city centre, Ireland.
Founded in 1835 by Philip Dowley, it is one of the oldest boys schools in Ireland.[1] Although priority is given to those of the main Catholic tradition, as a Christian school, it is attended by students of other denominations and faiths.[2] The school's colours are navy and sky blue. The school crest is a book, symbolising education, a cross, symbolising Catholicism, the Irish shamrock, symbolising the success of the Vincentians in Ireland and the papal tiara, symbolising loyalty to the Holy See.
