Carlow Educate Together is one of 60 Educate Together National Schools in Ireland. As an ET school, we must follow the Educate Together ethos. There are 4 principles to the ethos.
- Co-educational – boys and girls have equal opportunities
- Democratic – all the school community have a voice in the running of the school
- Child-centred – all our policies and procedures have the child at the centre of decisions
- Multi-denominational – all children, whatever their background, are treated equally
We also teach an ethics programme called “Learn Together” for half an
hour eachday. This subject helps children to learn about the world around them through its strands, which covers aspects such as morality, spirituality, belief systems, caring for the environment, justice and equality.
More information about Educate Together’s ethos can be found on Educate Together’s own web site. However, the best way to understand the ethos is to experience it for yourself. Feel free to visit our school and we’ll show you around.
