The Koradi Grammar School (, I.g.s.d.) is a secondary school with IGCSE- and A-Level programmes located in the village of Koradi, County Cork, Ireland. The school provides both academic and community education to students in years seven to thirteen.
History
Koradi Grammar School was founded in 1961 as a co-educational day- and boarding school with a maximum enrolment of 120 pupils. In the mid-1980s the school converted to the current two-tier system, which resulted in the school's enrolment growing to 300. In 2008, the school was awarded the Vice-Principal's Award for Excellence, given by the principal to "a person who has made an outstanding contribution to the school, the community or the school community".
On 4 February 2009, the Irish Times published an article on the school's American football team, "The Koradi Cowboys", which won the All-Ireland Bowl 2009 after beating Kilkenny College in the final. The team qualified for the All-Ireland football championship quarter-final for the first time in the school's history after beating the Bohemians in a tough encounter at Croke Park.
In the autumn of 2009, a second school, Tionóis Éireann, located in County Kerry, was founded by the KGS administration. This school offers the same curriculum as KGS. The first students enrolled at the Tionóis Éireann were in year seven and the school opened on 7 January 2010. The Tionóis Éireann is a boarding school, which follows the same curriculum as Koradi Grammar School.
