Welcome to Glenart College, Arklow and to our updated website. I hope, through our website, that you will get a sense of all the outstanding work that is happening in-and-out of the classrooms here in our school.
Browsing through this website will introduce you to what we offer our students and indeed what we receive from them in return. Glenart College, Arklow is a co-educational, multi-denominational, post-primary school under the patronage of Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB). We are proud to be a school participating in DEIS (Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools), which enables us to have smaller class sizes, extra resources and additional pastoral supports. Our school has proudly served the town of Arklow and the wider community since 1905 and our present school building opened at the start of the 2015-16 school year, providing our students/staff with state-of-the-art, modern facilities.
Our school also provides a full range of curricular programmes - the Junior Cycle, Junior Certificate Schools Programme (JCSP), Level One and Level Two Learning Programmes, an optional but very popular Transition Year, the Leaving Certificate (Established), the Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) and Life, Community and Work (formerly LCVP). As well as this, we offer our students a wide range of extra-curricular activities, sporting and non-sporting, overseen by our highly talented and committed staff. We have high expectations and high standards for all our students. Our goal is to ensure that every individual student that comes to our school fulfills their unique potential. We actively encourage all our students to follow their own pathway beyond second-level, whether that's moving on to third-level studies, further education, apprenticeships, traineeships or direct employment. It is in the DNA of this school's proud history that we always put students first in everything that we do here in Glenart College, Arklow.
On behalf of myself, Ms Campbell and Mr Rolston, Deputy Principals, and all the staff here, we hope that our website will give you a window into what our school offers.
