The curriculum in CBS Kilkenny is carefully developed each year to optimise each student’s performance within the national curriculum. Each subject teacher sets high academic standards, teaches goal setting, and encourages students to take ownership of their learning. Teachers employ varied and interesting teaching practices in each subject, challenging every student to realise his potential.
The course of studies offered to students at CBS Kilkenny comprises six years, three years at Junior Cycle and three years at Leaving Certificate cycle. The vast majority of our students opt for the Transition Year program as their first year of the Leaving Certificate Cycle. In Fifth Year, depending on the subject options, pupils have the opportunity of taking the traditional Leaving Certificate programme or the Leaving Certificate Vocational programme. Both culminate in the state Leaving Certificate Examination at the end of Sixth Year.
