The Alfa Project has provided an innovative secondary education in East Clare since 2001; a richly developed and integrated  programme of active learning, based on the Steiner/Waldorf curriculum.  Our holistic approach is dedicated to supporting the full development of human faculties, enabling our students to become socially reponsible citizens, confident in their gifts and ready to meet a changing world. We incorporate  multidisciplinary learning with a broad academic, environmental, and practical foundation. We support diversity in the different cultures, learning styles, and needs of our students.


Our students' ages range from 13 – 17 years of age, a full-time programme equivalent to the Junior Certificate for 13-16 year olds and  part-time opportunities for 16 and 17 year olds.  Groups normally cover a 2 year age spread.  

  We are an experienced FETAC level 4 and 5 provider and are currently offering FETAC in a wide range of subjects to our students. .

Full time Programme for 13-16 year olds

Our innovative and dynamic curriculum aims to support the questions and needs of the growing adolescent. We have a large number of talented tutors working with our students to ensure a fully rounded programme which is dedicated to nurturing and strengthening practical abilities and creativity as well as their own thinking processes . The curriculum includes biology, physics, chemistry, Irish, French, maths, communications, history, geography, IT, crafts, drawing, art, and drama, dance, music, P.E., surveying, landscaping and building. FETAC certification is possible in many of the subjects.

Part-time Programme for 16-17 year olds

 


On completion of the full-time programme, the vast majority of students go on to further education.  Most students choose to do the Leaving Certificate, but some choose to continue with Alfa, part-time, to complete their Fetac Level 4 and take some Fetac Level 5 modules with us to prepare them for their next step, on to third level or for employment.
