School Details - Dublin
The year round adult school is located on the south side of Dublin within walking distance of the city centre. The Camden Street centre is bright, modern, recently renovated, and a short walk from Saint Stephen's Green and the main shopping area of Dublin.
The school is accredited by the Irish Department of Education and Science as a school for the teaching of English as a foreign language, and are inspected by both ACELS (the Advisory Council for English Language Schools) and International House London.
Dublin
Of all the European hotspots Dublin is one that doesn't have to rely on constant sunshine or sandy beaches. So maybe it rains a bit and maybe the coastline is more suited to hiking than sunbathingÂ
but perhaps it's just this that adds to the whole charm of the place. Situated on Ireland's northeastern coast, Dublin is a little piece of Ireland for you to grab and savour - it can be as chilled out or as fast-paced as you want, as traditional or as modern as you want, even as welcoming or as remote as you want. It plays the glitzy glamour role as well as it plays the history book: funky, modern bars pulsate alongside old stone ruins; shops and art galleries vie for space among wonderful Georgian architecture. But above all it exudes an energy and a vibrancy that will captivate, charm and take a hold of your heart. The soft Irish accent and creamy pints of Guinness are only half the story
