Course content for Leaving Certificate includes the following subjects:
English
Irish

Health and Wellness Programme
Since 1988 Youth Horizons has been dedicated to the provision of a holistic education programme. With this in mind we offer the following:
Within this programme our participants are introduced to number of skills that they will need as they progress from Youth Horizons. These are essential skills that will complement their academic education and include:
Drug and Alcohol Awareness
Within this course the participants get an in-depth knowledge of what drug and alcohol addiction can lead to. As part of this we aim to have guest speakers ranging from health professionals to those that have experienced the trauma of addiction.
Physical and Mental Health
Counselling
As in most communities in modern Ireland mental health is an increasing issue. As part of our programme we offer ongoing support to our students and we endeavour to provide all participants with a facility whereby they can avail of one to one counselling.
