Gaelscoil Aogáin is an ordinary National School, subject to the rules and under the supervision of the Department of Education and Science. Teachers are qualified and appointed according to the Department rules. The only real difference is that Irish is the language of the school among the teachers and pupils. English is of course, taught as a subject, but all other subjects are taught through Irish. There are no fees. It is open to all children without distinction of class, creed or nationality, so it is in no sense elitist. Gaelscoil Aogáin is providing a first class education, promoting the Irish language and heritage.
Séard atá i nGaelscoil Aogáin ná gnáth-Scoil Náisiúnta atá faoi riar ag rialacha an Roinn Oideachais agus Eolaíochta agus faoina stiúradh san. Cáilítear agus fostaítear na múinteoirí de réir rialacha na Roinne. Is í an t-aon difríocht atá ann ná gurb í an Ghaeilge teanga na scoile idir mhúinteoirí agus dhaltaí. Muintear Béarla mar abhar, ar ndóigh, ach múintear gach ábhar eile trí mheán na Gaeilge. Níl aon táillí ann. Tá failte roimh gach páiste ann is coma cén aicme, creideamh nó náisiúntacht lena mbaineann sé sí , ta an scoil seo neamhaicimúil mar sin go huile’s go hiomlán. Ta Gaelscoil Aogáin ag cur oideachas den scoth ar fail ag cothú na Gaeilge agus ár n—oidhreacht Ghaelach.
