Students who want to improve their English at our school in Ireland

In order to use language in context, pupils in 5th and 6th  Primary, and 1st and 2nd  Secondary  should spend one month of the school year in our Bray Centre (Dublin), Brook House Los Sauces, using English as the sole language for learning with the Centre’s native speaker teachers .

Pupils stay with Irish families and classes are taught in small groups organised according to their language proficiency.

Pupils from school subsequent years have the option to repeat this experience in Ireland in July.
