Student Courses - Gaeltacht 2023
Coláiste an Phiarsaigh have three summer courses each year for secondary school students. The courses are two weeks in duration. One differential aspect to our coláiste is our commitment to keeping student numbers strictly limited. This provides students with the opportunity to get well acquainted with one another and also allows for extra attention and supervision ensuring a safe and satisfying learning experience.

Cuireann Coláiste an Phiarsaigh cúrsaí cuimsitheach Gaeilge ar fáil d’ábhar mhuinteoirí. Gheobhaidh na mic léinn deis an Ghaeilge a shealbhú i gceantar Gaeltachta, léargas ar shaibhreas cultúrtha an cheantair agus tuiscint ar mhodhanna agus straitéisí foghlanna teanga agus fosta beidh deis acu acmhainní teagaisc a chruthú as an nua a chuideoidh leo mar mhúinteoirí.
