There is significant evidence of the need to change junior cycle provision. For example, a significant number of first-year students do not make progress in English and Mathematics. Minister for Education and Skills, Department of Education and Skills Department of Education and Skills.

The FutureSchool programmes have been designed to fully support both the Junior and Senior Cycle Curricula – whether your family is starting their journey in the Primary School Curriculum, or working towards Leaving Certificate, Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP), or the Leaving Certificate Applied(LCA). Regardless, you can rest assured that FutureSchool will complement and work hand-in-hand with their current schoolwork.

For those schools that offer the International Baccalaureate or Cambridge International Examinations curricula, these are also available within FutureSchool as part of its standard curriculum library.
