A Warm Welcome
Céad Míle Fáilte

Welcome to Gaelcholáiste Mhuire A.G.

Welcome to Gaelcholáiste Mhuire A.G. – Scoil Éamainn Rís. We are delighted to welcome you to our school community.

Gaelcholáiste Mhuire A.G. is a Catholic, co-educational secondary school where education takes place through the medium of Irish. We are proud of our strong tradition, our vibrant school community and our commitment to helping every student reach their full potential.

Here, the Irish language is not simply a subject on the timetable. It is the language of our school community, our friendships, our learning and our shared identity.

We strive to create an environment where students feel safe, valued and supported, while being encouraged to challenge themselves, develop their talents and take responsibility for their future.

From the classroom to the sports field, from music and drama to debating, leadership and community initiatives, there are opportunities for every student to get involved, discover new interests and build lasting friendships.

We want our students to leave Gaelcholáiste Mhuire A.G. not only with strong academic foundations, but with confidence, character, compassion and a lifelong connection to the Irish language.

Gaeilge sa Chroí

Irish isn't just what we teach. It's how we connect.

At Gaelcholáiste Mhuire A.G., students experience their education through the medium of Irish.

The language becomes part of everyday school life — in the classroom, in the corridors, on the sports field, at school events and through friendships.

Our aim is to nurture students who are confident using Irish and who understand the richness of Ireland's language, culture and heritage.

We don't simply learn Irish. We live it.
Spreag. Foghlaim. Labhair. Fás.
