We offer a range of year-round English courses to adult students (18+), as well as summer courses for juniors & teenagers (from 3-17 years old) from around the world.

Our English courses for adults include General English courses, as well as Business and Specialist programmes, including Cambridge exam preparation. Choose from flexible options and create your own programme 'a la carte', or choose an all-inclusive package.

We believe that expert ESL tuition in small groups (average 4 per class), combined with an exciting leisure programme that stimulates the mind and body, sets the tone for a successful and pleasurable learning experience.

We combine English with scuba diving, sailing, horse-riding, golf, art & craft, Irish music, dance & cookery classes.
