School Background
Athy College opened its doors on the new campus on the Monasterevin Road in March 2010. Formerly the Kildare VEC school was located on the Carlow Road but following a ten year campaign the new premises became a reality. We are currently in the process of extending the capacity to a thousand students. This construction should begin within the next twelve months.
Athy College is a post-primary school located in the town of Athy, County Kildare and is under the patronage of KWETB. KWETB Schools provide primary and second Level education in line with the national curriculum as laid down by the Department of Education & Skills. All KWETB schools are co-educational and multi-denominational, committed to ETB School Core Values of Excellence in Education, Care, Equality, Community and Respect.
Athy College offers an extensive and innovative curriculum which supports learners to reach their full personal and academic potential. A broad range of extracurricular activities are also provided. Significant student support services are offered through pastoral support structures, guidance, student support team frameworks, DEIS (Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools) and (SCP) our School Completion Programme. Athy College offers a full range of subjects at both Junior and Senior cycle. In addition to both Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate programmes, schools also provide specialised programmes such as Junior Cycle School Programme (JCSP), Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) and Transition Year (TY).
We are a school that is very proud of our academic achievements, and with a professional, collaborative and enthusiastic teaching staff, we strive to provide for the holistic development of all our students in this school.
