Senior Cycle Entry

Parents and boys are warmly encouraged to visit the school to discover more about Glenstal and the Senior Cycle education on offer here. 

Glenstal’s boarding environment offers particular benefits for Leaving Certificate study. For 5-day boarders, weekdays are full, purposeful and well balanced across class, sport, music and study. For full boarders the weekends blend a supplementary Leaving Certificate tuition programme with recreational activities, and the steady rhythm of evening study. 

Please enquire at any time for more information. Private visits to the school, to tour the campus and meet with our Headmaster, with a view to Senior Cycle entry are readily available by appointment.
