Limerick & the Wild Atlantic WaySummer 2027 allocations open

Certified English instruction

CEFR-aligned, project-based classes taught by qualified Irish teachers — 15 hours every week.

Authentic Irish host families

Full board with Garda-vetted families in Limerick and Galway, chosen and re-checked every season.

Daily coastal adventures

Surfing at Lahinch, the Burren, Connemara and Gaelic games — every afternoon, whatever the weather.

The Manifesto

Most junior programmes herd teenagers onto buses into a city centre and call it Ireland. We do the opposite.

Wild Summer School is built in Limerick, at the gateway of the Wild Atlantic Way. Mornings are spent in real, communicative English classes. Afternoons are spent in the sea, on the limestone, and in the company of Irish families who actually feed you, drive you and argue with you about hurling. That is where a language sticks.

Season capacity

150–200 students

What they said afterwards

My daughter came home arguing about hurling in English. Three years of school lessons never did that.
