Cén Fáth go Roghnófa Gaelscoil?/Why Choose a Gaelscoil?

​According to national and international research, advantages of immersion education include:
  • Immersion education leads to greater cognitive flexibility and divergent thinking; students become more creative thinkers, with the ability to provide a range of valid solutions to a problem.
  • Greater academic success: Students in Irish-medium schools have higher achievement in both English and Maths than their peer groups in English-medium schools.
  • Easier to learn additional languages: Students develop both languages and neither will be negatively affected, nor will their progress in any other subject
  • Students gain a deeper appreciation of their culture, which leads to increased self-esteem and sense of identity. Students also develop an appreciation for other cultures.
  • Economic and employment benefits: Ability to work in more than one language is a valued skill
  • A candidate who answers in Irish in the written examination in certain Leaving Certificate subjects may be given bonus marks
  • Bilingual education for children with special educational needs ‘does no harm and clearly does contribute to social, emotional and interpersonal growth’ – NCSE Report, 2011
