Twin's English summer centre at our Dublin West location, is located near Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, and occupies a 100 acre wooded site on the banks of the River Liffey.
The King's Hospital College is conveniently located close to Dublin city and its many attractions, only 15min from Dublin airport, and 10min walk from the Liffey Valley shopping centre. The sports facilities are first class with many professional sports teams using the training fields, gym and pool.
The security system has coded access to the sleeping areas, so student can feel safe and secure. In the case of a fire, all security systems are automatically shut off and there is immediate access to exits.
The dining hall is large and airy and meals are prepared by a professional catering company.
Accommodation
Our Dublin West summer centre accommodation is made up of 2, 4, 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 rooms with 2 or 4 beds have a shower, toilet and handwash basin.
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).

Students at our Dublin West Summer Centre 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.
