Two or Three Years...

Once students complete their three year Junior Cycle programme at Calasanctius College they have a variety of options to choose from for Senior Cycle. Firstly they must decide whether they wish to pursue a two or three year Senior Cycle.

  1. The 3 year cycle is made up of our optional Transition Year (TY) programme followed by either the Leaving Certificate (LC) Established or the Senior Cycle Life, Community & Work programme (LCW). Information on our TY progamme can be found here.
  2. The 2 year cycle consists of either the Leaving Certificate Established or the Senior Cycle Life, Community & Work programme (LCW).

Two Years...

Those who opt for the two year programme then must decide which one might suit them best.

  1. Leaving Certificate Established (LC) - traditional Leaving Certificate programme based on subjects available below.
  2. Senior Cycle Life, Community & Work programme (LCW) - traditional Leaving Certificate programme which includes the LCW programme. Information on our LCW can be found here.
