Curriculum - Senior Cycle

Senior Cycle

Midleton College is a six year school. The range of age of our students is usually from 12 to 18 years of age.

During their time with us students will sit two state examinations. The first of these is the Junior Certificate which occurs at the end of their third year.

Our fourth year is a Transition Year. During this year an academic program is followed but it is also a year in which the broader aspects of a social education are explored.

The fifth and sixth years are spent in preparation for the second state examination Irish Leaving Certificate.

The entry of students to third level education is usually based on their performance in this examination.  For our recent results please see our section in ABOUT US.
