At
Shimna we offer an integrated, academically excellent, all-ability
education, and are very proud to have been designated as one of Northern
Ireland’s first twelve Specialist Schools. We are particularly proud
that our specialism in languages and the international dimension has been
recognised by the Department of Education. We believe that language is
central to the processes of integration and also to academic success.
We believe that the international dimension injects high expectations and
wider horizons into everything we do.
Our
college is rightly proud of the reputation for academic excellence we have
earned since opening in 1994. We also celebrate our success in
educating our students for a society which, though more peaceful, is still
faced with the challenges of finding new ways of working together, with the
responsibility of building shared social and political structures and coming
together to overcome enduring sectarianism and racism in our society.
Education in Shimna Integrated College equips students with the academic and
social foundation appropriate to the challenge.
