Host Family Accommodation

Our experienced host families offer students the famous Irish welcome. Students have the opportunity to experience Irish family life and spend time with native speakers in a relaxed environment. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided. All our host families are located close to public transport and have easy access to the school and city centre. They know that students might need some extra support in a new environment. We work closely with our families to ensure students feel as comfortable as possible and get the very most from their trip.

English Classes

Interactive classes with focus on skills that can be best improved while visiting a native-speaking country. We promote idiomatic English, involving practical inter-personal communication. Games, discussion activities, debates and role-plays are all used for this purpose. We ensure that students are both challenged and engaged. Our teachers also link lessons to students' social and cultural programme by introducing aspects of Irish history and culture. This helps students to get the most out of their afternoon and weekend activities too.

Social and Cultural Activities

Students have fun, experience our best tourist sights and learn about Irish culture. You choose the programme in advance. We offer a wide range of options for all age groups and interests. Mid week activity examples include Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College Guided Tour, Croke Park Museum and Stadium, Malahide Castle, Sing-along session, Irish Dance Party. Weekend day trip examples include Belfast and Titanic Exhibition, Glendalough Monastic Settlement, Cliffs of Moher and more.

“It was really nice that we were learning English with some games. We did a lot of activities like the sing-along. The teacher was also really nice. He was really funny and we learned a lot. ”
