Language Study Holiday for children and teenagers (from 11 to 17) in Dublin
In the north part of Dublin and next to the city center, the Marino institute welcomes during the whole year hundreds of students (300 of them can live on the campus) in buildings that are at the same time ancient for their architecture and modern as for its facilities: a fitness room, a space for Visual Arts, 20 computers available for student who might need to use one…
This summer, friLingue and its partner school invite students from all around the world in this institute, to take part to a language study holiday that will help them to improve their English skills but also to discover the Irish culture and history and have a very active vacation!
In the morning, participants take a 3 hours English class in small groups (10 students for one teacher on average). In the afternoon, they play sports or go on an excursion in the city with their professors. And in the evening, other activities are organized, often related to the local culture: they’ll be initiated to the traditional Irish dances! The rest of the time, students will unwind at the LaserTag, show their talents for bowling or karaoke, go to hunt treasures…
This program is for two weeks minimum.
