History is a core subject for all students at Junior Cycle Level. The course covers ancient civilisations from the Romans onwards, the French Revolution to the Second World War and 20th Century Irish History. Students also complete two CBAs (Classroom Based Assessments) as part of the Junior Cycle course. Junior students are given the opportunity to visit a historical museum in second/third year.

History is also taught at Transition Year level and can be available as a Leaving Certificate option subject within the school. The Leaving Cert course offers a broader understanding of world history, with particular attention to Irish history and 20th century European/US history.
