Support Nova Scotia's 1st Gaelic Immersion School
Do you want to help create the future of Gaelic Nova Scotia?
Over the last two years, a group of parents and interested community members have come together to establish the first Gaelic immersion school in North America. Opening this September, with a combined grade primary/one class of students already enrolled, Taigh Sgoile na Drochaide is situated in Mabou, Inverness County, and will operate independent of the public school system.
Inspired by the Montessori method of education, which emphasizes hands-on learning and collaborative play, Taigh Sgoile na Drochaide draws on the example of immersion programs elsewhere and utilizes a model of education that fosters curiosity, creativity, and environmental stewardship. We believe it can be a game changer, but we can’t do it alone. As a non-profit society without government funding, Taigh Sgoile na Drochaide is dependant on private donations. Your support will go towards operational costs and provide much needed supplies for the classroom, including books and furniture.
If you believe in the value of Gaelic in Nova Scotia, please consider showing your support through a donation to Taigh Sgoile na Drochaide. Lionar bearn mór le clachan beaga (Great gaps may be filled with small stones).
