Scoil Naisiunta Gort An Choirce

About

Scoil Náisiúnta Gort an Choirce is a full‑Irish (Gaeltacht) primary school where Irish is the language of instruction for all subjects apart from English. The curriculum is delivered through Irish, making the language the medium for teaching, learning, business and communication throughout the school day. This immersion approach ensures that pupils use Irish not only in the classroom but also in the playground, throughout the school environment and at official school events, fostering fluency and confidence in everyday use. The school places a strong emphasis on community involvement and cultural participation. Regular events such as St Patrick’s Day, Easter projects, intensive work in the senior classes, and the annual Seachtain na Gaeilge showcase a vibrant programme that celebrates Irish heritage and encourages active student engagement. These activities, together with a commitment from parents to support Irish language development at home, create a supportive, culturally rich learning environment for all children.
