College Ethos: "At Carrickfergus College we are committed to providing a quality educational experience for each young person placed in our care. We endeavour to create a secure and supportive environment where all pupils can thrive emotionally, academically, physically and spiritually to achieve their full potential as well-qualified, caring and contributing members of the community. The College's high expectations for pupils and staff facilitate the pursuit of excellence in all areas of learning and pastoral care. Underpinning all we attempt is the belief that education, at whatever level, should be an experience which empowers the learner.

Mission: "To provide a diverse and challenging range of quality experiences, delivered by caring, professional staff, in a well ordered environment. In partnership with parents, we will enable young people to discover and develop their academic, artistic, physical and social skills and they will acquire the knowledge to make informed choices in career, moral, spiritual and health related issues. The skills needed for independent and lifelong learning will be honed and the totality of their experiences at the College will empower them to shape their futures and become fully integrated in to the ever changing local and global communities". "We aim for excellence".
