Curaclam Curriculum

Aithníonn Coláiste na Coiribe an tábhacht atá le curaclam cuimsitheach a

thairiscint, ionas gur féidir le gach scoláire forbairt iomlán a dhéanamh.

Mar chuid den chlár oideachais sa choláiste tá: Teastas Sóisearach, Idirbhliain

Éigeantach, Ardteistiméireacht agus Ardteist Ghairmiúil.

ensures the holistic development of the student.

The educational programme of the school is comprised of: Junior Certificate

an Teastais Shóisearaigh Nua. Beidh gearrchúrsaí á shníomh isteach sa chlár de réir a

pearsanta.
