The Gael Scoil is a two-day educational program that immerses children aged 6 to 15 in Irish culture. Participants engage in classes covering topics such as food, history, language, music, dance, and sports. Our expert instructors include local volunteers, musicians, championship dancers, university professors, and authors. The program is proudly sponsored by the Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 10 in Mercer County, NJ.
Over seventeen years ago, the Gael Scoil initiative was launched. Since its inception, the program has experienced continuous growth and transformation. Each year, it attracts new students, and its dynamic curriculum goes beyond parades and leprechauns to teach children about the rich tapestry of Ireland.
In today’s interconnected world, where children can connect globally through social media at their fingertips, the Gael Scoil plays a vital role. It ensures that Ireland’s history and culture are not forgotten, providing essential education to our young learners.
