There is also a residential special school, Saint Raphael's, (co-ed, RC) for children with a learning disability. Celbridge also has one of the very few Primary Montessori Schools in Ireland, The Glebe Junior Montessori School (est. 1978). Providing Montessori education to children from 3–12 years, from nursery and Junior infants up to 6th class, its pre-fabricated building is located on the grounds of Barnhall Rugby Club. This is a fee-paying school and is not supported by the Dept. of Education & Science.
