Classic Programme
Our Classic Programme is our flagship English summer camp and attracts the greatest number of students. It is based on a strong academic foundation where progression is our focus. Lessons are held every morning, from Monday to Friday and each course is supported by its own carefully planned syllabus and course book. Lessons focus on developing the core language skills, with specific emphasis given to speaking and listening. Additionally, our activities are tailored to keep our students active and entertained while seeing the best of Dublin and its surrounding regions.
Perfect Location
The Irish College of English has been in the heart of Malahide for over 25 years. Situated on Dublin’s coastline, Malahide’s many attractions include Malahide Castle, a beautiful Seaside Village, Marina and Coastal Walks. Our location offers students the best possible experience of Dublin. Students enjoy Dublin city’s highlights while living in a safe residential area. Uniquely, our juniors can either walk to school or are a very short bus journey away in surrounding neighborhoods.

All our students stay in carefully selected families either in Malahide or surrounding areas, so that they can walk to school or take a very short bus journey. Our families are the highlight of the experience and have quality assurance procedures in place, ensuring great stays for all our students.

Irish College of English on vuonna 1992 perustettu palkittu englannin kielikoulu.
Meidän on hyväksynyt ACELS, Service of Quality and Qualification Ireland. Olemme myös MEI: n jäseniä, joka edistää laadukasta koulutusta Irlannissa ja tarjoaa oppilassuojaa.
Positiivinen opiskelijakokemus on koulumme etusijalla. Vuonna 2014 Malahiden kauppakamari sai kunnian ”Service Excellence Award” -palkinnolle selkeästä esittelystä erinomaisesta ja johdonmukaisesta asiakaspalvelusta ja vuonna 2016 meitä kunnioitettiin ”Vuoden organisaatio -palkinnolla.
Vuonna 2015 olimme ensimmäinen Irlannin englannin kielikoulu, joka valittiin opintomatkalehdessä ”Junior Course Award”. Vuosina 2016 ja 2017 olimme jälleen listattu Junior Junior Award -palkinnolle sekä englanninkielisen koulun Eurooppa-palkinnolle vuonna 2017.
Pääkoulumme sijaitsee Malahidessa, kauniissa rannikkokaupungissa Dublinissa. Meillä on myös kaksi upeaa englantilaista kesämökkiä Glenstalin luostarissa, Limerickissä ja Clongowesin puukoulussa Kildaressa.
Ammattimaisesti ohjattuina englanninkielisinä kouluina, laadukkaat englanninkieliset kurssimme ovat tunnettuja huippuosaamisestaan ja keskittymisestä etenemiseen, joka tarjoaa hyvää vastinetta rahalle. Meillä on täysi- ja osa-aikaiset kurssit aikuisille ympäri vuoden ja tervetuloa kouluryhmät ympäri vuoden ja olemme erikoistuneet lasten ja nuorten englantilaisiin kursseihin nuorten englanninkielisten kesäleirien kautta.

Classes: I liked the English language courses very much. But I did not understand that in these times there could be so many russians at the school. Do you support the aggressor?
Teachers: Very motivated , English language nationals.
Location: OK, 30 minutes by public transport to Dublin.
Activities:I chose the sailing courses. Activities were fun. But I did not learn a lot about sailing.
Housing: I stayed at a very nice family! Ms Mary cared a lot. Room was excellent. Food was great.
I started my internship at ICE a few months ago and all I can say is that the experience has been really positive. I get to meet amazing people from all over the World while being a part of the ICE-team. I’m grateful for all the unforgettable memories that I make along the way, as well as experiencing Ireland’s colorful culture with flowers and friendly people.

The care that the school takes with each student, reception, the teaching structure with the quality of the teachers, the friendliness of everyone and the location in Malahide are factors that make me ensure that my choice was the best I could have. I couldn´t forget to talk about the academic field... The fact that the school has a restricted number of students, comparing to another countries, helps to learn the language as if we have a close contact with the teachers. I confess that I didn't think I would develop my English so quickly. For the Brazilians who are reading this feedback, the problem that our people use to complain about big number of brazilians at the same school, is something that we don´t have here, we are just a few... Therefore, easier to develop the language and also, the perfect environment to make a lot of networking and friendships in each continent. I made the right choice! <3

It's so close to the seaside, beautiful park, train station and bus stops. It was so easy to get to the city center of Dublin. We spent there many hours walking the streets, visiting museums and relaxing in the cafés.
Host families supported us, helped and were very kind.
All of us dream to come back to Malahide one day.
Incredible experience for me. We always have apprehensions when we go to a new place but from the first minute I felt like at home, the staff is very very welcoming, the school great and the teachers too. I recommend 200%
