About
Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire is an Irish‑medium primary school situated on Cathal Brugha Street in Dublin 1. The school provides full‑time immersion education through the Irish language, delivering the Irish curriculum while fostering a strong cultural identity. Learning is organised around a holistic approach that balances academic rigour with creative and physical development, ensuring pupils acquire literacy, numeracy and critical thinking skills in a bilingual environment. The school benefits from modern facilities, including a recently completed new building that houses specialised classrooms, a library, and dedicated spaces for art, music, drama and sport. A broad co‑curricular programme offers activities such as Irish dancing, swimming, visual arts, drama, music and Gaelic games, supporting the development of confidence, teamwork and personal interests. Uniforms, a structured school day and a clear ethos outlined in the school’s mission statement underpin a supportive and disciplined learning community. Parents are kept informed through regular newsletters, a school calendar and an active website that highlights events, policies and staff information. The school’s governance is overseen by a Board of Management, and it maintains strong links with the parent community through a dedicated parents’ council.
