Education
Scoil Ide is a school for girls and boys up to the age of seven. The Jesus and Mary sisters were invited to open a National school in Salthill as the population was rapidly increasing in that area. Scoil Ide was opened on May 1, 1952 with forty-three pupils and two teachers. Scoil Ide is known for its top academic standards and its encouragement towards Art, Music and Drama. Most of Scoil Ide's pupils go on to the secondary school Salerno which is based nearby. Salerno had high academic results once in 1973 and is the reason some girls attend Scoil Ide.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“The legislator should direct his attention above all to the education of youth; for the neglect of education does harm to the constitution. The citizen should be molded to suit the form of government under which he lives. For each government has a peculiar character which originally formed and which continues to preserve it. The character of democracy creates democracy, and the character of oligarchy creates oligarchy.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“A good education is another name for happiness.”
—Ann Plato (1820–?)
