Gaeilge  

In English-medium schools, such as ours, the curriculum is designed to enable children to develop their communication skills in Irish in an enjoyable way. It also enhances the cultural identity of the child through cultural awareness activities.

The benefits to children of being bilingual at an early age include enhanced self-esteem, positive attitude towards language learning, and greater cognitive flexibility.

The children have opportunities to use Irish in a range of contexts and for different purposes. The themes and topics of the curriculum are based on children’s interests and needs.
