How To Apply

Application process

To apply for a place in the Youth Academy parents must complete an online application form. 

The application form will be available on our website from 9.00am on Monday 14th September. The closing date has been extended to Sunday 27th September for a number of the courses. 

Places will be allocated by random selection in September 2020. Not everyone that applies will get a place due to the volume of applications received.

Further information on our application and selection policy is available here: Application and Selection Policy

 Eligibility Requirements

To attend our courses students need to show high academic ability in English or Maths in standardised tests (Drumcondra, Sigma or Micra T) carried out annually in schools. Eligibility is based on their most recent tests. Due to COVID-19 these are test results from 2019

Students need to get one of the scores listed below:

  • STen score of 9 or 10
  • Standardised score of 123 or above
  • Be in 95th percentile or above

Proof of your child's test result needs to be submitted along with their application. These results must be uploaded to the application form. Applications received without test results will be deemed incomplete. 

Test results can be found on your child's school report card. If they are not listed on the report card you can get them from your child's school.
