Courses will have specific start dates and times during the year which they run. See timetables or listings below.
30 June - 25 July
In Dublin, your classes run Monday to Friday, starting at 09:30 and end at 12:45. Classes break at 11:00 for 20 minutes until 11.20.
Our school buildings open at 08:30 Monday to Friday and are not open at the weekend.
Your lessons are developed by your teachers and are designed specifically to meet your needs. Every week a new programme will be shared with you so that you will be aware of that week’s learning goals.
CAE Materials are included on the fees.
A level test will be sent to you in advance of your arrival. This will assess your grammar, writing and speaking skills and is used by our academic teams to place you in the most appropriate class.
We offer a system of continuous assessment during your study and at the end of each week our academic team will discuss which students should move to a different level in order to maximise their language experience.
If you feel you are in the wrong level, speak to your class teacher or to the Director of Studies.
Homestay
We carefully choose people and families to host hundreds of students every year. You’ll get to share meals with your host in their home while practising your English in a fun and relaxed setting.
Our activity programmes are packed with sport, culture, and fun. They are a wonderful way for your child to improve their English, get to know classmates, and truly experience and understand their new culture. From museum visits to sports afternoons and everything in-between, your child will be kept busy.
