History
In 1831 the residence of the Superior General of the Irish Christian Brothers and the centre of teacher training was moved to North Richmond Street (O’Connell Schools) Dublin from Our Lady’s Mount (North Monastery) in Cork. In 1874 the residence of the Superior General of the Irish Christian Brothers was transferred to Belvedere House in Drumcondra now the President’s House in St Patrick's College of Education. In 1881, the Congregation moved to Marino House, on the original Lord Charlemont demesne. In 1900 the foundation stone was laid for a new Generalate, called St Mary's, and this is still the main building on the College campus today. St Mary's building was completed, and opened, in 1904.
The College trained Christian Brothers who taught throughout the world, on all five continents. In 1926 the Congregation became involved in the Irish National School system, and consequentially the College's focus on primary education increased.
In 1929 the Department of Education recognised the College as a teacher training college and students were awarded a National Teachers’ Diploma(NT) on completion of their course.
In 1971 Brothers of other orders attended the College. From 1972 lay students were admitted to MIE. The B.Ed qualification gained from MIE was validated by Trinity College Dublin.
In 2006 Dr. Anne O'Gara was appointed President of Marino Institute of Education.[1]
2012 saw Trinity College Dublin join the Christian Brothers in Co-Trusteeship of MIE.[2]
