Comhphobal bríomhar oideachasúil is ea an Mhodhscoil.

Pobal ar leith sinne- scoláirí, tuismitheoirí, múinteoirí agus banaistíocht na scoile ag obair as láimh a chéile ar aon, chun leas an uile dhuine a fheabhsú. Tá tradisiún oideachais againn sa scoil gur feidir linn a aimsiú, atá ag síneadh siar go dtí an bhliain 1832, traidisiún atá- uile cuimsitheach do bhuachailí agus cailíní bunscoile faoi seach.
Leanann foireann teagaisc díograiseach na Modhscoile leis an traidisiún seo go fóill. Tá ardchaighdean feabhais á chur chun cinn ó thaobh múinteoireachta agus foghlama de. Déantar iarracht forbairt intleachtúil, spioradálta, phearsanta agus chruthaitheach na ndaltaí a chothú laistigh de thimpeallacht ar leith. Timpeallacht í seo atá cabhrach, dúshlanach agus sábhailte, a chuireann saoirse intleachtúil an uile pháiste chun tosaigh.
Comhphobal bríomhar é Modhscoil Luimní a bhfuil borradh agus fás faoi, a fháiltíonn roimh gach aon duine. Féachann Bainistíocht, Oidí, Tuistí agus Paistí ar aon chuige go ndéantar gach uile iarracht go mbeidh an tSaoirse agus an deis ag gach duine saol sona sásta a bheith acu sa Mhodhscoil agus a gcumas iomlán a bhaint amach.

Oideachas Dátheangach/ Bilingual Education
Buntáistí
De réir taighde náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta, áirítear i measc buntáistí an chórais:
- Buntáistí cognaíochtúla agus gnóthachtáil mhéadaithe curaclaim: Bíonn cumas intinne níos fearr ag an bpáiste/dalta agus mar sin torthaí níos fearr
- Níos éasca teangacha eile a fhoghlaim: Forbróidh daltaí an dá theanga agus ní bheidh aon drochthionchar d’fhorbairt ceachtar teanga ná d’aon ábhar eile sa churaclam, msh. Fraincis, Spáinnis, Stair, Ealaín, nó eile
- Bíonn páistí/daltaí líofa agus liteartha i dhá theanga: Deir na saineolaithe idirnáisiúnta gur fearr na scileanna litearthachta a aistriú ó mhionteanga go mórtheanga seachas a mhalairt
- Scileanna cumarsáide níos fearr, cruthaitheacht agus íogaireacht chumarsáide
- Rachaidh páistí/daltaí i dtaithí agus i bhféinmhuinín ar a gcultúr féin, rud a chabhraíonn le muinín agus diongbháilteacht féiniúlachta
- Buntáistí eacnamaíochta agus fostaíochta: Is scil ar leith obair a dhéanamh i dteangacha éagsúla
- Beidh tuiscint agus ómós ag páistí/daltaí ar chultúir éagsúla: Spreagann an córas ilchultúrachas níos doimhne agus caoinfhulaingt cultúir eile níos fearr, níos lú ciníochas
- D’fhéadfaí bónasmharcanna a thabhairt d’iarrthóirí a fhreagraíonn scrúdú scríofa Ardteiste trí Ghaeilge
Advantages
According to national and international research, advantages of immersion education include:
- Cognitive advantages and greater academic success: The child/pupil will have greater mental ability and will achieve better results
- Easier to learn additional languages: The child/pupil will develop both languages and neither will be negatively affected, nor will their progress in any other subject, e.g. French, Spanish, History, Art, etc.
- The ability to speak two languages fluently and to read and write in two languages: International experts point to the fact that literacy skills transfer with greater ease from a minority language to a majority language
- Better communication skills, more creativity and sensitivity to communication
- Children/pupils gain a deeper appreciation of their culture, which leads to increased self-esteem and sense of identity
- Economic and employment benefits: Ability to work in more than one language is a valued skill
- Broader exposure to and appreciation of the value of various cultures: Deeper multi-culturalism, greater tolerance and less racism
A candidate who answers in Irish in the written examination in certain Leaving Certificate subjects may be given bonus marks
