We know each institution in depth, so we can advise you on the best option based on your child’s age, profile, and interests.
Public schools in Ireland
Public Schools in Ireland, similar to semi-private schools in Spain, are very common and offer high-quality education with a balance between academic performance and personal development.
They also include Community Colleges, equivalent to Secondary Education Institutes (I.E.S.) in Spain, which combine an inclusive environment with a variety of academic and extracurricular programs.
Additionally, public schools can be coeducational, all-girls, or all-boys, allowing families to choose according to their children’s preferences. The use of school uniforms is mandatory, promoting discipline and a sense of belonging among students.
Private schools in Ireland
Private schools in Ireland are elite institutions known for their prestige and highly personalized educational approach.
In addition, many of these schools offer boarding options, ideal for students who seek a more immersive and structured experience.
Most private schools are Catholic, although there are also Protestant and secular options, providing flexibility to choose the type of education best suited for each family.
These institutions not only prioritize academic performance but also promote values such as responsibility, discipline, and autonomy.
