Tir na nOg Montessori School was established in September 1983 by Linda Winning (3-12 years) AMI Diploma and Benincasa Diploma.

The school was originally located in the grounds of Colaiste Mhuire, Douglas Road, Cork -  now known as Reeves Wood. In 1992, two classes moved to Copperfield House, 6 Clermont, Douglas Road, Cork and by September 1993, all classes were based in Clermont.

All teaching staff at Tir na nOg have successfully completed a teacher training course in either the AMI or the St Nicholas teacher Training Colleges.

At Tir na nOg we aim to ensure that the unique qualities of each child is recognised by giving them a happy and secure learning enviroment.

The learning enviroments are maintained by fully trained staff. As each child develops physically, socially, intellectually and emotionally to his/her full potential, a strong sense of independence is fostered. Self-esteem and self-respect will grow so that the child will in turn respect others.


Our Curriculum offers:
