Raheen Wood Community National School, established in 2008, is a co-educational, multi-denominational Community National Schoolnestled between the trees of our four acre woodland site, just outside the east Clare village of Tuamgraney.
Our school is founded on the conviction that a true education must engage and nourish the whole child: body, mind and spirit.
We work to develop an education that is a living, loving process: awakening in children the confidence and truth of their connection to, and place within, the wider community and world.
Our school provides a distinctive education, offering an inspirational, rigorous and nourishing educational experience for children from Junior Infants, right through to Class 6.
What teachers, families and students say about the school
The year our daughter spent in the kindergarten at Raheen Wood was a magical time for our whole family. Each day she came home singing the seasonal circle time songs and emptying her pockets of treasures collected from a walk in the woods. The kindergarten nourished her boundless sense of wonder and discovery. Her time there exemplified an educational experience most in tune with the true nature of childhood.
It means the world to me that my son finds school so much fun! I feel that the lessons are taught in a way that maintain the child’s enthusiasm for the subject. My son comes home telling me of all the maths games he has played that day, he loves maths class!
There is a wonderful sense of growth throughout the whole school. It feels that instead of forcing education into children, that their abilities are drawn out from them instead. Parents, teachers and the children seem to flourish in this environment. My son certainly is.
