Welcome to Ard Scoil na nDéise. The Ard Scoil is a voluntary secondary school under the trusteeship of CEIST (Catholic Education An Irish Schools Trust) situated in the heart of Dungarvan. We welcome students from all parts of the town, its suburbs and indeed its hinterland.
At Ard Scoil na nDéíse we strive to provide for the holistic development of all our students. We recognise and value the fact that every individual student has something unique and special to bring to our school. Our aim is to bring out the best in every student and to support them to reach their full potential.
As a Catholic school we place great value on faith formation and the nurturing of spirituality. We encourage our students to have an enquiring mind and a lively imagination. Our core values of respect, care and friendship underpin all aspects of school life here in Ard Scoil na nDéise.
Our students also learn the joy, excitement and challenge of competition in a variety of areas at all levels. The success of our students in sports, young enterprise, debating, public speaking, music, choir, science, drama and many more are a source of great pride to everyone associated with our school.
At Ard Scoil na nDéise, we strive for high standards in all aspects of school life. We encourage our students to work hard and push themselves to the best of their ability. We also support students in developing their emotional intelligence by modelling sensitivity and empathy towards the rights and needs of others. We are proud of our many students who obtain outstanding Leaving Certificate results. We are equally as proud of those students who find school and study more difficult, but who work extremely hard with the support of their teachers to reach their potential.
Our highly skilled motivated staff bring with them a wide range of experience, talents and skills ensuring high quality provision of education to all our students. They all share a dedication to the mission of the school striving to ensure the holistic education of all.
We hope that this prospectus will give you a sense of the range and variety of opportunities that we provide for our students. You will find further information on our school website and if you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact the school.
