Coláiste Iognáid (Irish: Coláiste Iognáid), a bilingual secondary school, is located on Sea Road/Bóthar na Mara in Galway, Ireland. It was originally founded in 1645 and has had numerous locations over the years before its current home. The college is a co-educational, non-fee paying secondary school and one of a number of Jesuit schools in Ireland. There are approximately 600 pupils in the school. Coláiste Iognáid is run by a board of management comprising parent, teacher and Jesuit representatives. It is non-fee paying, co-educational and has no school uniforms. Students study there from ages thirteen to eighteen and sit the Junior and Leaving Certificate examinations. Each of the six-year groups is divided into four classes. The four groups are Gaeilge (The "Irish Stream") Xavier, Loyola and Collins (the best one) (G, X, L, C). Students are taught in similar ability classes throughout the school. The school is known locally as the 'Jes'. The tradition of Jesuit education in Galway is a long and varied one, not only in the variety of place and time, but also in its attempts to meet the challenges of the evangelisation in different decades.
