English Programmes with Home Stay and Residential Accommodation

(15 students group minimum, 3 days, 1 week, 2 week stays)

At the Irish College of English, we cater for specific student groups and their needs in developing short tailored group English programmes to suit different types of English learners and different budgets.

English School Dublin Ireland
As a smaller school, with very well qualified staff, we have the expertise and adaptability to design a variety of programmes. We encourage adult, junior and school groups to come to Ireland during the low season (outside of high season end of June -Aug) and can offer very competitive rates. We already have a number of state schools, private schools, third level colleges and language Institutes abroad that send us groups on a continuous basis and our student/leader feedback is excellent see our school recommendation.

Dublin Language School
As smaller sized schools, in the ideal setting of Malahide and Swords, we offer groups an exceptional experience, where they can generally walk to school from their host families and live in the safe environment of a friendly beautiful village like Malahide and Swords.
