((Catholic Institute for Deaf People, [[http://www.cidp.ie/amalgamation/| Amalgation of St. Mary's and St. Joseph's schools]] (n.d.), [accessed 5 December 2017].)) They offer the same classes that are available in mainstream schools but with Irish Sign Language to support language acquisition. These are boarding schools, students stay here during the week and visit their parents during weekends and vacations.

 In these three Deaf schools Irish Sign Language is prevalent and used throughout pre-school to secondary education. Next to Irish Sign Language they also learn English and the oral method is also used. The schools get subsidized by the Irish government. The children enrolled in these schools are likely to use Irish Sign Language outside school.
