Our StoryContactProgrammes · Ages 11–18
Two to four weeks of English, adventure and friendship on the Wild Atlantic Way, living with a welcoming local family.
The programme
Every weekday starts with three hours of lively, communicative English in small international classes. Then the classroom moves outdoors: kayaking around Valentia Island, mountain hikes, film-making, cooking and music, with full-day excursions every Saturday.
Students live with a host family, sharing with at least one student of another nationality, so English becomes the language of everyday life.
✓15 hours of English lessons a week
✓Full board with a Garda-vetted host family
✓5 supervised afternoon activities a week
✓2 evening social events a week
✓A full-day Saturday excursion every week
✓Airport transfers from Cork or Kerry*
✓All local transport, course materials and placement test
✓End-of-course certificate
*Arriving and departing on a Saturday or Sunday.
Afternoons & weekends
Every activity is supervised by our staff and designed so students use English naturally, with friends from other countries.
Fresh air builds confidence, teamwork and resilience.
Hands-on projects where English is the tool, not the subject.
Social nights on Tuesdays and Fridays, and a full-day trip every Saturday.
