Hazelwood Integrated College

Hazelwood Integrated College was founded in 1985 as a planned integrated college where mutual understanding is fostered and cultural diversity is celebrated. Today Hazelwood welcomes students of different religions, cultural and political traditions, social backgrounds, genders and abilities, thereby enriching the College and society. 

The College welcomes children of all ability. Students are organised into all-ability classes and follow a broad curriculum where a high value is placed on the student as an individual. Classes are kept small to allow for the maximum development of each child. A new Early specialisation is deliberately avoided, and all students are prepared for GCSE in nine subject areas. Sixth Form students choose from a wide range of AS and A2 Level subjects. 

Students come to the College from a wide area covering Belfast and South Antrim. The wide catchment area allows young people from all denominations and from diverse backgrounds to mix and make friendships. The fundamental aim of the College is to provide an environment which develops students as caring, autonomous individuals, proud of their own background and respectful of the background of others.
