One day at Headfort

Throughout its history, and beginning as a boarding school only, Headfort’s vigorous and unique curriculum has remained its hallmark. There is no other day or boarding school that provides a curriculum like it, and it is for this reason, that our community is so proud of the all-round education we provide.

​

The school has long used the Irish National Curriculum as the foundation of its learning programme. Our strength, however, is that this foundation is then built upon through a vigorous amalgamation of global curricula, that enhance the learning experience of every child. We have a strong emphasis on inquiry learning and use elements of the International Baccalaureate to enhance the student experience to create a truly unique learning journey for every child.

​
