The Campbell Story
Campbell College first opened its doors in 1894 thanks to philanthropist Henry James Campbell and has been educating boys from all over the world ever since. The stunning 100 acre woodland campus sits on the edge of Belfast and the original redbrick Victorian building remains a striking centre piece of the College today. Home to over 1200 boys aged 3-18, the College has added state of the art facilities throughout its existence but the ethos remains true to the intentions of its founder. Respect, service and leadership.
With a Junior School, Senior School and a thriving international Boarding department the College represents one of the leading Boarding and Day Schools on the Island of Ireland.
The motto Ne Obliviscaris is born out of a history of leadership and service reflected particularly during the two world wars and our Royal Charter status was presented in 1951 in honour of those we lost.
The diverse list of our alumni is a reflection of a College that truly celebrates the individual and our heritage is celebrated by Campbellians, old and new, across the world.
Throughout its history, Boarding has been a central part of Campbell. With such a diverse student body, our Boarders are able to share their cultures and ethos with their peers, which in turn enhances their learning experiences, whilst building lasting friendships that could see them travel the world over.
On Tuesday 28th March 2023 we were asked to provide an assault course and a disco bouncy castle for the Boarders. This was a great experience for our staff.
