AIM

The Northern Ireland Curriculum aims to empower young people to develop their potential and to make informed and responsible choices and decisions throughout their lives. Gaelscoil Éadain Mhóír uses the same curriculum that is used in other Primary schools throughout the North.

 

Our basic intention is to help each child realise his/her maximum potential within an immersive Irish speaking environment.
