Gaelscoil Chnoc na Ré, Baile Uí Dhúgáin: Sligo's All-Irish Primary School

Gaelscoil Chnoc na Ré is an Irish medium, immersion, coeducational, Catholic school, offering the full Primary Curriculum, with all subjects, apart from English, taught through the medium of Irish. Irish is the living language of communication in our school. Bilingualism opens windows of two cultures. Being bilingual from an early age helps children to learn a third and fourth language when they are a little older. Children experience learning Irish easily and understand that learning other languages is possible. It can promote greater tolerance and respect for other cultures, which is important as Ireland becomes more multicultural. Children from all linguistic and cultural backgrounds are welcome at our school. We recognise that each child is unique and we strive to develop his/her potential. Gaelscoil Chnoc na Ré supports parents active participation in their children’s education and in school life.
