Our Junior Students:

Photo of Summer English Courses for Juniors in Cork, IrelandOur summer students come from all over the world, but they have this in common: They want to learn the language, live the life, and love the leisure here in the scenic setting of an English-speaking country.

Our students make great progress in their English language skills, particularly listening and speaking.

Our courses are professionally designed and our teachers are qualified and experienced experts. Our students build great confidence in using English.

Thanks to the hands-on, relaxed approach of our teachers here in Schull, students' progress isn't limited to just the classroom setting. Each student's age, needs & learning styles are catered for.

We offer a level assessment and interview on the first day and then you will join the right class with other students of your level. 

We believe expert tuition in small groups, combined with an exciting leisure program that stimulates the mind and body, sets the tone for a successful and pleasurable learning experience.

English Courses for Families
Because our English summer camps for young kids and juniors are located only a few minutes walk from our Adult English school, Mum & Dad are always nearby.

We synchronise timetables so parents, younger kids and also their older siblings can attend one of our 3 separate, but closeby centres.

This allows them to easily enjoy a unique ‘whole family’ learning experience, but with the needs of each family member attended to, according to their age and level.

Quality English Teachers:
All our teachers are qualified to a very high standard. Because we are also a teacher training centre, our own teaching methods are always being upgraded and reassessed in order to ensure our programmes are effective and successful for our students.

We know that younger learners hate being bored not just in their free time, but in the classroom too.
