Accommodation
Experience the hospitality and friendliness of the Irish for yourself – stay with a local host family! Our school takes great care when selecting and checking host families, helping you to enjoy your English course in Ireland as much as possible. Host family accommodation includes two meals per day, with executive hosts also providing private bathrooms. Living in an English-speaking environment, your language skills will rapidly improve!
Alternatively, you can live with your fellow students on a self-catering basis, either in a residence or university halls. Our school’s residence is located in the Stillorgan suburb of Dublin, 30 minutes away from the city centre. The residence has a fully-equipped kitchen, shared bathroom and laundry facilities, two large lounges, free Wi-Fi connection, a study room and a daily cleaning service.
For a slightly higher standard of accommodation and on-site tuition, choose our university residence, available during July and August. It’s located just outside of the city centre, close to the canal, amongst beautiful landscaped gardens. The shared kitchens are well appointed and there are laundry facilities on-site, as well as a large restaurant. Each apartment has two bedrooms (mostly twin rooms), two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a lounge, complete with satellite TV. Some single rooms are available, but are always in high demand, so book early if you want a single room!
Activities
Make the most of your time in Ireland with our school’s packed activity program! Typical activities include guided tours of Dublin and Dublin Castle, trips to the National Museum and English language film nights. Activities such as these give you the chance to meet your fellow students and practice your English outside of class!
Our school also organises optional excursions for the weekends, although these are not included with the cost of your English course in Dublin. Visit the beautiful gardens of Powerscourt; follow in the footsteps of the Pope at the monastery of Clonmacnoise; or taste traditional Irish whiskeys.
If you want go further afield and see the natural splendour of western Ireland, two-day excursions are also on offer. One trip takes in the exciting city of Galway and the fascinating Aran Islands, whilst another focuses on historic Bunratty Castle and the incredible Cliffs of Moher.
How to get there
Airlines from all over the world fly to Dublin Airport. If you like, our school can collect you from the airport upon your arrival, taking you directly to your accommodation. However, this service does carry an extra cost.
Our school also offers English courses in Dublin for students aged 12-17. Please contact us with any questions you may have about learning English in Dublin.
