With carefully selected hospitable and experienced host families.

Full board: breakfast, packed lunch, dinner and snack before bedtime.
ALWAYS individual room
ALWAYS with an Irish `brother´ or `sister´ of the similar age and with the same hobbies as our student.
Only one student of any nationality is placed in a family unless an alternative arrangement is requested.
Families interact with the students and guarantee improvement in English.

Once classes and activities are finished, the students are taken back home to their families by private transport organised by EGA. Living with the family is the best option for practising English and learning about local culture and traditions. The family homes are spread over a wide area making it almost impossible to meet students of the same nationality.

Our families are responsible for the entertainment of the student and weekend planning. Our students are always placed in the same house with an Irish brother / sister of the similar age and with the same hobbies. The families will have constant interaction with the student and they will always be treated as a member of the family.

Ask a question

"I have a prospective student from Spain who would like to study at Killarney School of English. Do you have evening courses? Is this course available in the evening?"

Feargal Courtney, Killarney School of English school representative

I’m afraid we do not have evening classes, morning and afternoon only.

Was this helpful? Yes

"I have a prospective student from Spain who would like to study at EGA International. The student is interested in evening courses. Do you offer evening courses?"

Yes, we have evening class available from 7.p.m. Monday to Thursday. Private 1-1 is also available at any time.

Was this helpful? Yes

"Could you please respond as soon as possible for availability of the Junior course without housing?"

riccardo carrà, student from Italy

We have tried hard for you, but unfortunately, we will not have Junior group class available at this time. We can offer your young client 1-1 Private Lesson but without afternoon activities.

"I have a prospective student from Saudi Arabia who would like to study at Killarney School of English. She wants to enroll with her husband and her two children, ages 5 and 6. What are the course start dates?"

Feargal Courtney, Killarney School of English school representative

Our adult school at Macros, Killarney is full . This happens every year, so we have created extra adult classes 5 minutes’ drive away at our school in Lisivigeen, Killarney. All transport is provided between our two schools.

Was this helpful? Yes

"The family has changed their minds and would like to know whether or not the individual lessons for the daughter can be held at their lodging instead of the school. If this is not possible, I completely understand. How much would each lesson cost if the teacher were to go to their accommodation to teach? The would like 15 hours for the week. 3 hours each morning."

riccardo carrà, student from Italy

Is the accommodation in Killarney town centre or does the teacher have to travel there by his/her private car ? ( Killarney town does not have a public transport system). Is the class to be in a bedroom ? this is not a good atmosphere for a class, you will agree . From a teachers point of view, an actual class room is a better learning environment, Of course the teacher has resource material, photocopier, in-house facilities at the language centre you will agree ?

"How should our students register for 1 week in the LOCAL URBAN CAMP WITH KILLARNEY CHILDREN if they are finally interested?"

We can register the child for the Camp closer to the dates of arrival... E.g.. at the end of June - if we have the following details -
1. Name of Child
2. Date of Birth
3. Parents name
4. Medical or Diet observations/comments if applicable.
5.Parents contact number -

"I never heard a response back from the inquiry I had below about the 5 and 3 year old taking the family combined course. Is this possible if the mother takes the course as well? Would the mother and two youngsters be able to book the private apartment option that you have for housing? How much would it cost for the adult with two little ones?"

Maria Claudia Montanini, student from Italy

The adult single mother can take Adult General English class – morning hours. The most suitable option would be Host Family accommodation – booking 2 rooms with unsuited bathroom. Plus the usual Registration fee and any transfers requested. The child of 5 years may attend Monday to Friday morning at local summer Activity camp – 9.30.am to 12.00.noon approx. (times to be confirm when full details published) The child of 3 years is NOT accepted by local summer activity camp – underage unfortunately. EGA International does not accept into class groups - children who cannot yet write. I would recommend a Host family in this instance, a local young couple perhaps who also have a young family and where the children can interact through play and family toys and activity.
