The school offers a varied program of leisure activities that showcases the numerous riches of the Irish culture while creating an environment that is conducive to meeting other students and practising the language outside of class. Students can discover the city, which is considered to be one of Europe’s most dynamic capitals, at their own pace, with its hundreds of pubs and a rapidly expanding music scene. The contrast is even more surprising once you are outside of Dublin: the Irish countryside offers spectacular scenery, studded with legends and the magic of days gone by.
