Institutional History
St Enda's was founded in 1909 in Cullenswood House, Dublin, by Patrick Pearse as a boys' school with an entirely Gaelic ethos. Thomas MacDonagh was the first teacher on its books, along with William Pearse, Margaret Pearse, Joseph MacDonagh and Con Colbert. It ran into financial difficulties, however, and closed in 1935.
