Accommodation

Host family
Without doubt, one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the language and culture of a country is to stay with a host family. The school has carefully chosen host families living in Galway, who offer you a single room with half board during the week and full board at weekends. The families generally live around 30 minutes away from the language school.

Shared apartment (from 18 years)
The apartments made available by the school contain two or three spacious and bright bedrooms with a choice of a single bed, a double bed or two separate beds. In addition, they are equipped with a stove and a washing machine. Located around 5-15 minutes away from the school, they represent the ideal option for those who wish to share with other international students close to the city centre.

Leisure

The school organises activities in order that students may discover Galway and its surroundings. Outings to concerts or pubs are organised to allow you to discover the traditional and popular music of Ireland. The school also offers a range of sports, such as golf, fishing, tennis, sailing, horse riding, walking… all ideal for meeting other students and getting to know the country.
