JUNIOR CERTIFICATE PROGRMME

It is our policy to provide the widest education possible to our students and to develop each pupil’s potential to the full.

We are committed to developing special abilities and interests of each pupil.

Class sizes rarely exceed 20 allowing teachers to have greater opportunity for personal contact with pupils.

Pupils entering First Year follow a three-year course for the Junior Certificate Examination, followed by our Transition Year and a two-year course for the Leaving Certificate Examination.
