Supervised Study Time

Múinteoirí
Our teachers are highly motivated and experienced in preparing students for
all levels of the Irish Leaving Certificate examination.
Activities
A well earned break from the work is provided by means of the enjoyable
activities for which Coláiste U.LS.C.E. has become famous. More of an
emphasis exists on land based and indoor sports during our Easter Course
as the weather is often unsuitable for watersports. Nevertheless, we aim that
everyone shall experience the thrill of watersports at U.I.S.C.E. during the
Easter Course. Enjoyment through the Irish language is one of the secret
ingredients to the success of Coláiste U.I.S.C.E. courses since our
establishment.
Individual Attention
Another one of our ingredients is our commitment to quality not quantity,
and in keeping with this motto our Easter Course is limited to 20 students,
ensuring individual attention, tuition and providing excellent value for
money.

Summary

Leaving Certificate Irish Exam, and improving results in the examination.
