Bunscoill Ghaelgagh is a government-run[1] Manx-language primary school in St John's, Isle of Man that has enabled 170 children to learn fluent Manx.[1] As of 2011[update] it is the only school in the world where children are taught their lessons solely in Manx and which allows children to learn the language fluently.[2] Pupils may then go on to Queen Elizabeth II High School in Peel where they can study a GCSE equivalent qualification (Teisht Chadjin Ghaelgagh) in Manx as well as up to two subjects in the language to maintain their fluency,[3] or to the high school in their catchment area.
