Two week full immersion course

Céad míle fáilte - a hundred thousand welcomes.

Hospitality is ingrained in Irish culture, and we believe that there is no better way for students to immerse themselves in the Irish culture than by experiencing life as a member of a family. You will not just observe life in Ireland but actually live it just as a native does.

Our "home away from home" offers all the comfort and security a parent would want for their
child. There is reassurance in knowing that students will have a family who is looking out for
them and wants to facilitate their health, happiness and safety in an unfamiliar environment.
Families are carefully and personally selected by CIAA.

All homes are within a 20-minutes walk of the base camp - St Enda's College, within a 15 minutes bus ride of the city centre, and within a one-mile radius of the leaders' accommodation, to ensure logistical ease and speed of access. Every night, we will be in contact with each host family to check that everything is in order. There is an agreed curfew, which must be adhered to.

Students will benefit from having tasty home-cooked food and the chance to learn more
about traditional Irish cooking and cuisine. Continental breakfast will be served every
morning, a light lunch will consist of sandwiches and snack, and evening meal will consist of
a 2-course dinner including a hot plate. Students are expected to inform us of any dietary
requirements in advance of the trip.

Students will have a warm, comfortable single bedroom.
