Fostering a love of learning

Students learn very early that persistence through challenge is a key component of success.

At Glendalough, St Kevin’s College Junior School, the love of learning and the learning itself are not left to chance.

Teachers recognise that students learn at different rates and in different ways.

In order to engage students, teachers of Glendalough provide opportunities for students to make informed choices for their learning.

Students learn very early that persistence through challenge is a key component of success.

Challenge permeates everywhere; whether it is on the sporting field, on the stage or in the classroom.

Challenge is also about having high expectations for all students and for all staff.

Creativity is also a hallmark of a Glendalough education.

Creativity can be expressed across the curriculum, whether it be inquiring about numbers in mathematics or developing skills in music and art.

Glendalough continues to develop a strong academic tradition where each boy is encouraged to take responsibility for his own learning in an environment that values knowledge and the individual in the context of our Catholic tradition.
