Description : Transition Year in Brookfield College

The secondary school program in Ireland is called the Junior Cycle and is aimed at educating children up to 14-15 years of age, on mastering the basic amount of knowledge on the fundamental subjects of the school curriculum. The list of courses and disciplines studied is long enough: this gives students the opportunity to more accurately assess their abilities and inclinations, to prepare for studying in the upper grades (where it is usually provided for an independent choice of subjects). The curriculum includes the following disciplines:

• Foreign languages ​​(Spanish, French, German)
• Economy
• History (if there is a demand of students)
• Physics (if there is a demand of students)
• English
• Accounting (if there is a demand)
• Geography
• Biology
• Housekeeping
• Agroculture (if there is a demand)
• Chemistry
• Mathematics.

A special adaptation and translation program is designed for foreign students. Pay attention - this is not a direct student transfer for a similar course with enrollment of earned points and credit units (educational loans)! The Transition Year program allows you to adapt to a new educational, cultural and academic environment, to significantly improve the level of the English language, to deepen and update knowledge on the core subjects of the curriculum. After passing the Transition Year, the student will be ready to study at a foreign school, college or university at the level of native speakers.

• Biology
• Housekeeping
• Agroculture (if there is a demand)
• Chemistry
• Mathematics.
