At Lucan East E.T.N.S. we are guided by the four main principles of Educate Together i.e. the school is equality based, co-educational, child-centred and democratically run. Educate Together schools operate under a legal obligation to provide equality of access and esteem to children, irrespective of their social, cultural or religious backgrounds. The school delivers an ethical education programme called Learn Together, which consists of the following four strands: Moral and Spiritual Education, Belief Systems, Ethics and the Environment and Equality and Justice.

All other religious instruction is taught outside of school in the local parish.
