Located at the foot of Mount Errigal in the breathtaking surroundings of North West Donegal, Coláiste an Phiarsaigh (founded in 1988) provides the ideal Gaeltacht course for both secondary and third level students. The Coláiste founders, Cáit and Seán Mac Suibhne, both native Irish speakers, who have taught the Irish language in secondary schools for many years , have a proven track record in the teaching and delivery of the Irish language curriculum. A rigourous selection process ensures that the Coláiste’s teachers are of the highest standards and are passionate about the Irish language and culture. The student numbers are purposely small to maximise the attention given to each individual, ensuring they are given the best opportunity to learn and develop confidence in the Irish language.
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.
