Lisnagarvey High School in Lisburn has announced it has closed early for the Christmas holidays.
The school revealed it had two separate Covid-19 cases, which meant about a fifth of its staff were forced to isolate.
Pupils will be taught online for the rest of the term.
In a letter to parents, principal Jim Sheerin said "large numbers" of staff have had to self isolate.
He said the two seperate cases involve a Year 9 class and the Special Educational Needs department.
Four year groups at Methodist College in Belfast, are learning remotely following 35 positive coronavirus cases being reported in one week.
