Language courses :
The morning is divided into two sessions and you will usually have two teachers. The first session concentrates on reading, writing skills and key grammar. The class is organised so that learning is fun, resulting in steady progress. After the mid-morning break you will concentrate on improving your oral skills using role-play, debate, project work and learning about your surroundings in Ireland and the cultural places you will visit during your stay.
We want you to enjoy your stay with us so we have organised an action-packed programme at each of our centres. You will visit historical places, take part in a lot of activities, arts and crafts, dance and sports, make lots of new friends and go to school discos or other arranged evening activities. In addition there are full day Saturday tours to places of historical interest or to towns and villages with cultural places of interest.
Activities Available At Junior Centres Include:
Football • Basketball • Volleyball • Rounders • Fun Games • Table-Tennis • Art & Crafts • Aerobics • Badminton • Movie Videos • Indoor Swimming (available off campus)
Afternoon Cultural Visits Include

24-hour care 7 days a week
The Directors and staff are available throughout the day and the night as we realise how important it is that parents know their children are with caring and responsible people. Young students can be homesick, get lost or need medical care at any time, so our staff are always available and willing to help.
All our excursions are accompanied by leaders known as ‘Yellow Shirts'
(because of their clearly identifiable polo shirts) and these leaders have been very carefully trained in dealing with young people. They are selected for their warm manner and sense of responsibility.
