Scoil Mhuire is an Irish co-educational post-primary community school owned by the Irish government and controlled by a board of management with ten members: two parents, two teachers, and six representatives from the trustees who are Kildare KWETB and the Presentation Sisters.

​

 As a centre for the formation of youth its aim is to strive for a more Christian and just society, to provide a warm and caring environment where students are taught to respect the dignity of each person and to develop their own sense of worth and self-esteem. It seeks to provide a disciplined atmosphere in which students can work and develop their talents to the best of their abilities. Scoil Mhuire works within the curriculum of the Department of Education and provides extra curricular activities aiming at the growth of the whole person. The school continually re-examines its goals and objectives and responds in a creative way to the demands of changing times.​
