About School Placement

Throughout their programme, students have the opportunity to teach at all class band levels, schools under different patronage and in lán-Ghaeilge settings. Placements are sourced by the College and by students themselves. The College is indebted to the hundreds of schools and over 2,000 co-operating teachers who facilitate our students each year.

The College and school learning experiences are complementary of each other and are conducted in a spirit of partnership between the College and participating schools.
