"Cuimhnígí, gur fada chugainn anall a tháinig an Ghaeilge, agus an croí mór bog Gael a ghabhas léi, agus gur foghail thar foghla agus creach thar creacha an domhain, an croí gan cor sin agus an teanga chaoin cheansa sin a scarúin linne agus lenár sliocht inár ndiaidh go deo."

- An Dochtúir Risteard de Hindeberg

Scoil na Leanaí offers children a unique learning and development experience, which will stand to them for the rest of their lives.

Boarding School

Úsáidtear áiseanna nua-aimseartha, ar nós ríomhairí, chun oideachas den scoth a thabhairt dos na páistí.

Scoil na Leanaí provides a comprehensive primary school education, recognised by the Department of Education. Classes are relatively small, ensuring the pupils receive individual attention.

Children follow a regular study routine. This fosters self-discipline and is an excellent foundation for later life.

The Irish Language

Tabharfaidh Scoil na Leanaí líofacht Gaeilge dos na páisti agus cothóidh sé grá don teanga iontu.

A carefully planned programme of events, both inside and outside the classroom, encourage an Irish-speaking atmosphere. The school provides an opportunity to become fluent in Irish while catering for all ranges of ability.

The emphasis is on the spoken word and we encourage each child to use Irish at all times. Children learn to appreciate the language for what it is - a vibrant and living means of communication which is fun to use!

By learning Irish in such a natural way, children are honing and extending skills that can be applied to other languages. French classes give a basic understanding of the language before entering second-level education.

Children have access to a wide range of supplementary reading material in both Irish and English and are encouraged to read for recreational and information purposes.

Talking to each other

Bíonn dea-chaidreamh idir daltaí, tuismitheoirí agus foireann na scoile i gcónaí.

Good communications between pupils, parents and the school staff have played a large part in the success of Scoil na Leanaí down through the years. Parents are kept fully informed of their children's progress and are encouraged to ask questions on any aspect of the school. Children are encouraged to share any problems or concerns they might have with teachers and/or supervisors.

Extra-Curricular Activities

I measc na gníomhaíochtaí caitheamh aimsire atá ar fáil i Scoil na Leanaí tá cispheil, leadóg, peil, iománaíocht, leadóg bóird agus réimse cluichí bóird éagsúla.

Scoil na Leanaí has a full programme of games and other pastimes. These encourage full participation by all our pupils. The school emphasizes group activities, while giving each child personal space and time.

By participating fully in the wide range of extra-curricular activities, each child develops self-awareness and an appreciation of the needs of others.
