Hello everyone and Happy Springtime!
The month of February began of course with Imbolc and Brigid’s Day, and the celebration of the arrival of spring. Weaving St. Brigid’s crosses quickly expanded into a number of new shapes as we played with the rushes and devised new patterns.
Pancake Day marked another important celebration in Irish culture. While “Carnival” is celebrated in other parts of the world with masks, costumes, […]

Hello everyone!
It’s great to be back at school and to start this new year. Some of us missed school so much we began counting the number of sleeps before going back to school on the day after Christmas.
We welcomed two new students this January and sadly said goodbye to one of our veteran students who left us this year to follow her dreams. We wish her every success in her endeavours. We have a new student intern joining us for this term. […]
Hello everyone!

Students and staff were engaged in a huge range of activities and it was such a joy to observe. Around every corner you turn at school, you can find groups of people of […]
Hello everyone!
We had a great start to the new year with 18 new students joining the ranks of self directed learners in Sligo. The first few weeks back at school are always exciting and a lot of fun as we reconnect with each other and with the spaces at school, and enjoy the many changes that have happened over the summer … most of us are taller and stronger, some of us have lost […]
