The range of classes provided by An Cosán extends from primary to post primary and is based on relevant and appropriate peer groupings and the individual needs of each child.

A supportive and safe environment to allow students to grow to their fullest potential

An Cosán is a place where everyone feels a sense of belonging and ownership. The school is characterised by respectful and positive relationships which support the dignity of every individual. It is committed to ensuring a safe environment where our students thrive and maximise their potential.

Principal Mairead O'Brien feels that the above quote which is displayed at the entrance of the building perfectly encapsulates the inclusive ethos of An Cosán Community Special School reinforcing the idea that every student is valued and integral to the school and community.

"We thought of you when we made this place, and today could not happen if you weren't a part of it"
