About Loreto High School
The National Inventory rates Loreto High School Regional, one of 85 in Rathfarnham. Its record dates Loreto High School to 1920–1930. 38 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
This school's thoughtful design considers the needs of small children, with enclosed gardens and large, low windows. The asymmetrical arrangement of the various building forms is balanced by the use of a unifying range of materials.

Questions about Loreto High School
Is Loreto High School on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 11216012).
Can you visit Loreto High School?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Loreto High School built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1920–1930.
Is Loreto High School protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
