Midhe Democratic School is a Registered Charity and is entirely self-funded.
We are an independent school that does not teach the national curriculum. As such, government funding is not available to us and the only way we can run the school is through a paid membership system.
We are a registered charity, which means every penny received in dues goes straight to the running costs of the school and not to investors or shareholders. We keep costs as low as possible and structure them on a cost sharing basis.
Child 1 : €4,000 per year
Child 2 : €2,500 per year
Child 3 : €1,500 per year
Inclusion of people from all areas and walks of life is a core value of Midhe Democratic School. In an effort to make the school as accessible and inclusive as possible, we have created a school bursary scheme.
This offers our membership dues at a reduced rate for families who have a gross household income of €28,000 or less.
This is based on a self assessed application process. If you wish to apply for this bursary please request bursary application form and submit it with your enrolment form.
These places are limited before applying we recommend you check with the school to see if there are reduced places available

Child 2 : €1,500 per year
