Our Ashfield College teachers teach their classes using our superb Ashfield College Manuals. These manuals are written by our teachers specifically for use in Ashfield College only. Our manuals are updated annually in order to ensure that we reflect the most current Leaving Cert exam papers. Our manuals are professionally produced and cover the entire syllabus. Our manuals include accurate solutions to exam questions and subject-specific exam technique, all of which is vital for Leaving Cert exam success. Our manuals are not available to buy the shops and they are included in our school fees.

We pride ourselves in helping our students choose the best route to realise their ambitions. This involves working with expert teachers, making careful subject choice, rigorous study planning, and access to guidance while choosing their university course.  A very high percentage of our graduates get directly into the course of their choice.

Ashfield College’s Leaving Certificate teaching programme offers a choice of 24 subjects at Higher and Ordinary level.

Unlike many other secondary schools, timetables are designed to suit each student. This means that subject choices are unrestricted*; each student is able to study the ideal combination of subjects to suit their individual needs.

*Please note, subject availability is determined by the date at which the student registers as an Ashfield College student.

Ashfield College students will engage in a number of assessments at key points in the school year. In Ashfield College, we treat assessment as an important formative feedback mechanism as it informs students, parents and teachers on how a student is progressing in a subject. As we provide extensive feedback, assessment is also used to provide detailed guidance as to how a student can improve in each subject area. Our teachers provide detailed, specific, actionable feedback, and reports are issued for parents after each set of assessments. As we prepare students for the leaving Cert, we encourage our students not to consider assessments as something  to be scared of, but rather as incremental steps along a journey of progress in preparation for their Leaving Cert Exams. This helps us to create happy, empowered students who work consistently and safely towards both academic and personal success. Online students attend our Dundrum campus for all tests and assessments.

In Ashfield College, our students are at the heart of everything that we do. We strive to ensure that all our students are happy and consider themselves as valued members of the Ashfield school community, whether they are a face to face students, an online student or a student who accesses a blended version of our programmes.

Therefore, we provide an extensive range of both pastoral and academic supports, because it is our belief that a student needs to be happy within themselves in order for them to fully exploit the wonderful range of academic supports which we provide.

Our in-house Support Team includes one-on-one meetings with our Year Heads, our Pastoral Counsellor, our Career Guidance Counsellor and our Study Mentor. Our Support Team provides support and guidance throughout the year with an emphasis on student well-being. Throughout the academic year we also have talks, seminars, and well-being initiatives for students, including our Well-Being Month.
