Irish medium schools

Irish medium schools are educational institutions where the Irish language (Gaeilge) is the primary language of instruction. They aim to promote fluency in Irish while also teaching standard subjects, fostering cultural identity and bilingualism. These schools serve families who want their children to become proficient in Irish, supporting Ireland’s language revival efforts. They operate across various levels, from primary to secondary education, and are part of Ireland’s broader commitment to maintaining and developing Irish as a living community language.
