VARTRY School of English is once again running its highly successful Mini-Stay Program this year. At Vartry we believe that our activity-based camps enhance our students learning of English while enjoying a memorable and cultural experience in Ireland. Vartry runs a mini-stay program in two centres, Kingscourt, Co. Cavan and Dublin. Brochures for both Mini-Stay Programs can be viewed/downloaded below.

Kingscourt, Co. Cavan

With a population of 3,000 people, Kingscourt is an idyllic location for summer camp programs. 90 minutes fromDublin, the town established itself around Cabra Castle and the beautiful Dun an Rí forest. Pupils enjoy the ability to walk to town or to our school from their host family residence. The summer school is in the heart of the town. Students will have morning classes here, followed by activities and trips in the afternoon.  All transport is by private coach. Additionally, students will enjoy a full day trip every week to one of Ireland’s best cultural attractions on offer.

Dublin

Dublin City with a population of 1.2 million, is the capital city of Ireland. First founded by the Vikings over 1,000 years ago, it still holds onto its medieval influences. Laterly, the architectural influence of Britain’s finest Georgian architects left an indelible and historically rich city. Vartry School of English operates in 2 centres in Dublin. We offer accommodation on both a host family and residency basis. Our Summer Residency is located in the suburb of Whitehall. There is a direct bus route to our city centre school. Journey time is 35minutes. Our central location allows us to visit Dublin’s best cultural attractions with ease every afternoon. The majority of which are only a short walk from our school.
