Out Of School Subjects

Study a Subject Outside School – Your Way

Want to study a subject that isn’t offered at your school? Our Out Of School Subjects have got you covered.

From September 2025 to May 2026, 5th and 6th Year students can choose to study independently by attending fully interactive online classes.

Students will develop their subject knowledge and sharpen key skills to perform with confidence in their exams.

All independent subjects are supported by our exam-focused class notes and access to live recordings of each class, invaluable resources for revision.

With over 50 years of experience, trust The Institute of Education to help you succeed.

Here’s what you’ll get when you study with us:

    • Expert tuition from Ireland’s leading teachers
    • Weekly support with homework, projects, and any questions you have along the way
    • Class recordings available to rewatch whenever you need
    • Exam-focused notes, designed to ease understanding
    • Master exam strategies and get familiar with marking schemes
