The Association of Independent Junior Schools is an educational trade association that represents the interests of private primary-level schools in Ireland. AIJS, as the association is more commonly referred to, acts as the primary voice for the sector as well as overseeing various competitions and collaborations between the member schools. It is the Irish equivalent of the prestigious Independent Association of Prep Schools in the United Kingdom and its members include an array of leading independent preparatory schools and the junior departments of famous secondary schools.
ABOUT
The Association of Independent Junior Schools (AIJS) (not to be confused with the Association of Junior Independent Schools, AIJS, a similar association of schools in the North of England), consists of nearly 30 member schools from across the Republic of Ireland. The schools regularly compete against one another in AIJS-sanctioned tournaments which range from art; poetry; creative writing; photography; chess; debate; music; and choral events to league-based sporting fixtures accommodating the members’ core sports offerings (cross-country; hockey; tennis; football; swimming; and so forth).
Similar to the IAPS, AIJS member schools share common values and work collectively to improve and develop the status of independent, fee-paying primary schools and to prepare pupils for entry to the leading independent schools in Ireland and the United Kingdom. This ethos is demonstrated in the wide array of activities and competition, both athletic and academic made available – activities which are designed to enhance the learning experience and ensure a holistic experiential education which is unlikely to be available in the state-maintained sector.
The association’s membership includes a variety of schools from traditional preparatory schools, junior schools attached to fee-paying secondary schools, and Montessori schools offering education through to 6th Class. Many of the AIJS member schools offer boarding to pupils from the age of 8 or 12.
The AIJS membership varies but has included the schools listed below. For further information please make an enquiry with your preferred school.
