I have an IRC server installed on my Raspberry Pi and it is in the
same wifi as my laptop. Therefore I can connect to it. But does it
also work without it having access to the internet and just being
connected over a wifi connection?

I mean, technically yes. But who are you going to talk to? Just the
people on your own home network.

Yes, you can connect to it on your local network without access to the
internet.

Exactly. I don't want to set up a global irc. I just want one for my
classroom (and don't want them stealing internet xD)

This is such a great idea. I love seeing a new potential use for IRC
(at least for me,) all the way in 2021!

You might want to avoid asking inverse questions in the title and
description. I'll be giving you a useless but not wrong answer if I
say:

"No."
