Transition Year (TY) is a one-year optional programme available to all post-primary schools. As a standalone programme within the senior cycle experience, the TY programme offers a unique opportunity where schools and communities can collaborate to encourage young people to thrive now and into the future. The TY Programme Statement is designed to provide schools with a flexible, collaborative approach to planning programmes for their context. Schools can adapt their TY curriculum so that students have opportunities to develop the key competencies to thrive and flourish in this rapidly changing world.
