Online Full Time Day School

With extensive experience in online learning, Ashfield College streams all Day School classes as well as all grinds classes live. Every class is also recorded, giving students access to a comprehensive library of recorded lessons for the duration of their time with us. This allows students to revisit topics, catch up on missed classes, and revise key material whenever they need.

We also use Moodle as an additional learning platform, where students can access class notes, assignments, and extra learning resources to support their studies.

Ashfield College has a dedicated Head of IT and a team of support technicians who ensure that our online learning environment runs smoothly for both students and teachers. Our teachers receive ongoing training in delivering lessons effectively in an online setting, ensuring the same high-quality teaching experience whether students attend online or in person.

Students studying online receive the same level of academic support as those attending classes in Dundrum. We also offer a blended learning option, allowing students to combine online classes with face-to-face classes where suitable.

Students can choose to enrol in our Online School or take individual Online Grinds, providing flexible options to suit different learning needs.

Ashfield College teachers are highly qualified subject experts. Our teachers have extensive experience preparing students for the Leaving Certificate in their chosen specialist areas.

Our teachers are passionate and responsive to each and every student. They combine a genuine love of their subjects with a proven track-record of success in second level State Examinations.

Many of our teachers are published authors of Leaving Cert text books, while others are Leaving Cert State Examiners. Several of our teacher are also involved in teacher training at a national level.

Ashfield College’s Online School has been successfully maximising every student’s potential for over 40 years.

Home to one of only 13 students nationally who achieved  8 H1s in Leaving Certificate 2017, Ashfield College is proud of its record of educational achievement.

Whether your goal is to study Medicine or to gain a place on the perfect 3rd Level course for you, Ashfield College provides the teaching expertise and resources to support your academic and personal success.

At Ashfield College, our teachers deliver classes using our exclusive Ashfield College Manuals. These manuals are written in-house by our expert teachers and are used only within the college. Updated annually to reflect the most recent Leaving Cert exam papers, they are professionally produced and cover the full syllabus in each subject.

Each manual includes accurate solutions to past exam questions, along with subject-specific exam techniques that are essential for Leaving Cert success. These manuals are not available to purchase in shops and are included as part of your 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 take part in a number of assessments at key points throughout the school year. We view assessment as an important formative tool, helping students, parents, and teachers clearly understand progress in each subject.

Our teachers provide detailed, specific, and actionable feedback, ensuring that every assessment offers meaningful guidance on how students can improve. Reports are issued to parents after each assessment period, keeping them fully informed.

As part of our preparation for the Leaving Cert, we encourage students to view assessments not as something to fear, but as important milestones in their learning journey. This approach helps to build confident, motivated students who work consistently 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.
