Independent Review by
Trinity College Dublin
Eblana Learning’s K–12 AI Curriculum independently evaluated by the Learnovate Centre and supported by Enterprise Ireland’s Technology Centre Programme.
The findings confirm the curriculum’s rigour, coherence, and distinct positioning within the international schools sector.
The Review
The evaluation examined the complete K-12 programme across four age bands:
Early Years (3-5)
Primary (6-10)
Middle Years (11-14)
High School (15-18)
The review assessed:
Scope and sequence
Rigour and developmental placement
Thematic coherence
Inquiry progression
Comparative market positioning
The methodology included vertical and horizontal curriculum mapping, thematic coding, and structured gap analysis across all units.
