Ceist CLG

Ceist Company Limited by Guarantee is the trustee body for 107 voluntary Catholic secondary schools across Ireland, operating under the banner of Catholic Education an Irish Schools Trust (CEIST). Its core purpose is to deliver a holistic education rooted in the Catholic tradition, guided by a vision of a compassionate and just society inspired by the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.

The organisation supports its school community through a robust programme of conferences, training and resources. Annual CEIST Conferences bring together educators, board members and senior staff for two-day sessions of professional development and strategic discussion. Ongoing events such as the Leadership in a CEIST School programme, Deputy Principal Network meetings and a suite of downloadable resources-including admission-policy guidance, climate-action toolkits and liturgical materials-help schools stay current and collaborative.

Through regular news updates, awards and community celebrations, CEIST fosters a vibrant network that encourages shared learning, spiritual growth and the continuous improvement of Catholic secondary education throughout the country.
