Mission Statement and Ethos

Athlone Community College with the co-operation of its educational partners will continue to provide an environment where each student is cherished equally and is nurtured to a personal, intellectual and moral maturity. We are committed to creating an atmosphere of excellence in learning, challenging the pupils to reach their full potential. We will foster an appreciation of Arts, our national and European culture and the greater global environment.

Our co-educational approach to learning places emphasis on equality of opportunity and offers flexibility in response to an ever-changing society. Our philosophy of education is a Christian one embracing all creeds. We aspire to a holistic education encompassing the intellectual, moral, religious, personal, physical and social dimensions of our being.

Our ethos encourages a mutual respect for one another, where the joy of learning becomes a reciprocal experience. “Even while we teach we learn”.
