Our partner school, established since 1993, is situated in the very heart of the city centre. The building has been especially designed to welcome a large number of students and offers modern facilities, bright and spacious classrooms equipped with quality audiovisual material. During your stay you will have access to a library and a multimedia room in order to facilitate further language learning. During the high season, extra classrooms are made available. The school is recognised for its competent team of teachers coming from different backgrounds as well as for its warm and welcoming atmosphere. Finally, there is a rooftop terrace where students can go during their breaks and after class to relax and chat with their new friends whilst taking in the magnificent view of the famous Galway Bay and Galway city itself.

Host family
Full immersion in the local culture is the best way to learn a language. Staying with an Irish family means sharing in the lifestyle of a new culture on a daily basis and having an unforgettable experience. The families are chosen with care and know the school well. Students stay in a single room and benefit from half board during the week and full board at weekends.

Gort na Coiribe shared apartment (from 18 years)
Providing students with the freedom to cater for themselves, all of the school apartments are an ideal option for those who wish to live with other international students close to the city centre. They are comfortably furnished and equipped to meet students’ needs, including a shared kitchen, a living room as well as a washing machine and free Wi-Fi connection. Each of the apartments accommodates between 2 and 8 students with the choice of a single bed, a double bed or twin bedded rooms.
