Summer Camp :
Our 2-, 3- 4- and 6-week Summer Camps are exciting and enjoyable for everyone.

Lessons take place in modern classrooms in a personal and relaxed atmosphere. All teaching material is up-to-date and free of charge.
The average number of students per class is seven. There will not be more than ten students in each class and classroom.

From day one, our team of motivated and experienced teachers ensures that English is the only spoken language throughout the whole course - not only inside but also outside the classroom.

There are 20 lessons per week and the duration of each lesson is forty minutes. English lessons in our language school take place in the morning. Lessons begin at 9.30 a.m. and end at 13.00 p.m.

During break time (11.00 a.m. to 11.30 a.m.) students normally play football, frisbee or table tennis. They can also check their emails or the latest photos in our online photo gallery by using one of our computers with free internet access in each classroom.

The first class in the morning is usually given to grammar. The second class is normally devoted to improve students' oral and reading skills. Debates and discussions about interesting topics are encouraged by m.l.a. and occur frequently.

Students stay with an Irish host family in Kilkenny, who in turn, has been carefully selected and that are constantly reviewed. By staying in a host family each student has the great opportunity of getting to know the “Irish way of life” during the stay in Ireland. It's our policy to only have one student of the same nationality per host family. All students are guaranteed a single room throughout their stay with us. Most of our host famlies have been with us for several years and are all looking forward to hosting students from other countries.

All lessons are taught by qualified and friendly English teachers who all hold a minimum certificate of Teaching English as a Second language (TEFL - Teaching English as a foreign language). They are all highly motovated and have years of experience in teaching English to non-natives.

All our summer camps are 'all inclusive': we offer many activities, excursions, cultural tours sports and social events after school. This allows the student to embrace a real flavour of Ireland and its people. Learning English is important - getting to know Ireland with all its natural and cultural beauty is also essential to our summer camps.
