Gaelscoil

A Gaelscoil is a school where students are taught primarily through the medium of Irish (Gaeilge), the national language of Ireland. These schools aim to promote the Irish language and culture while providing a standard education curriculum. Students typically learn subjects like mathematics, science, and history in Irish, fostering bilingual skills and cultural identity. Gaelscoils are part of Ireland’s broader effort to preserve and promote the Irish language in daily life, and they serve students from early childhood through secondary education. They often emphasize a strong sense of Irish heritage alongside academic development.
