Educate Together (Irish: Ag Foghlaim Le Chéile)[2][3] is an educational charity in Ireland which is the patron body to "equality-based, co-educational, child centred, and democratically run" schools.[4] It was founded in 1984 to act as the patron body for the new multidenominational schools that opened after the establishment of the Dalkey School Project.[1] As of 2024, Educate Together is the patron of 96 national schools in Ireland.[5] In 2014 three Educate Together Second Level Schools opened in Dublin 15, Drogheda and Lucan along with the first Educate Together school outside Ireland, in Bristol in the United Kingdom.[6] In joint patronage with Kildare and Wicklow ETB, Educate Together opened another second-level school, Celbridge Community School, in 2015.[7]
