Accommodation

Our Dublin Residential summer centre accommodation has been entirely refurbished in the summer 2019. Most bedrooms are 5 or 6 bedded en-suite rooms. The rooms are bright and airy with views over either the grounds of the school or the internal courtyard.  

Each room is ensuite and has wardrobes for the students to use. The 5-bedrooms have a shower, toilet and wash hand basin, while the 6-bedded rooms have 2 showers, 2 wash hand basins and a toilet.

We try to room students of similar ages together and to keep the nationality mix as diverse as possible (while keeping the boys and girls separate).

What to pack
Some warm clothing (for colder days and nights) 

A waterproof jacket (for rainy days)

Comfortable shoes (for walking tours and visits to the coast)

An old pair of trousers and t-shirts (for the visit to Causey farm)

An adaptor (Europe to UK/Ireland) - for all their electronic/charging needs

Students at our Dublin Residential Summer Centre (formerly Alpha Young Learners Residential Programme) can look forward to an engaging programme of both daytime and evening activities. There will also be two half-day excursions per week to various locations. These excursions enable students to explore and experience the Irish culture on a greater scale. We encourage students to practise their English by talking to the new friends they have made on the programme as well as staff and people they meet on their travels.
