Leisure

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.

Testimonial

Roxane Le Meur Studying at International House Dublin is very interesting if you want to improve your level of English.  Every day, there is a lively social and cultural programme.  The school is located near the city centre and the people are friendly and out-going.  I love my classroom and my teachers because they always find a way to interest me.  I have made lots of new friends from different countries who I talk to and go out with in the evenings.
