The Abbey Vocational School (also known as the AVS or the 'Tech'; Scoil na Mainistreach in Irish) (formerly known as the Donegal Technical School) is a non-denominational vocational secondary school situated in Donegal, County Donegal, Ireland. It has approximately 900 students, and is the largest school run by the Donegal Education and Training Board. The school is located on the outskirts of the town and is named after the 15th-century Franciscan friary (commonly referred to as an Abbey), the ruins of which lie a few hundred metres from the school.
Courses offered include the Junior Certificate, The Leaving Certificate, Transition Year, Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP), Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) as well as a range of Post-Leaving Certificate courses (PLCs) It is also one of the top feeder schools for Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT). Like most schools now operated by the VEC, the AVS has moved away from a strongly vocational syllabus towards a more general curriculum including modern languages and sciences. The building itself is single story with almost sixty class rooms, including general purpose, computer, science, music, engineering and drama rooms. The school also has extensive sport facilities including grass pitches, tennis/basketball courts, gymnasium and athletic track.
