4-week academic program in Ireland
Don't miss out on places in our unique 4-week program in Ireland, accompanied from Malaga.
Intensive Language Immersion in Ireland for 4 weeks
Having the opportunity to spend 4 weeks in Ireland and at a school is a unique opportunity for students to experience the Irish education system firsthand and improve their English through real language immersion, without having to commit to a term or a full academic year.
At Angloaventura, as a specialized educational travel agency, we have achieved something truly unusual: Irish schools accepting international students for just four weeks, allowing them to live an authentic, safe experience highly valued by families and students.
Who is the 4-week program in Ireland aimed at?
Students who want to experience what it's like to study in Ireland
Designed for those who wish to experience education in Ireland without committing to a term or a full course, providing a first real contact with the Irish education system.
Students with a good academic level and adaptability
The program is geared towards students with good academic performance, a responsible attitude and the ability to integrate into a different school environment, keeping up with the pace of classes in English.
Families who are still unsure about a long stay
An ideal option for families who value international education, but prefer that their child first try a short stay at an Irish school before taking a bigger step.
Teenagers seeking an intense and authentic language immersion
Aimed at those who want to improve their level of English through authentic language immersion, living with an Irish family and using the language constantly inside and outside the classroom.
Support during the trip and the first few days
One of the most valued aspects of this program is the support provided during the flight and the first few days in Ireland. Our team accompanies students from Spain, assisting them with their journey and facilitating a smooth and safe adjustment to their new environment.
During the first few days, students receive constant support to integrate into the host family, the school, and local life, which reduces initial stress and improves the experience from the very beginning.
When do I need to book?
We start accepting applications in October; it's usually very difficult to get a place in this program at the last minute.
2 options:
First in the more rural part of Donegal, usually near Buncrana, further away, but the families are usually wonderful and the school too.
Second option around Longford, here the schools have quite a few Spanish students and you can't guarantee how many companies book, the families are all kinds, retirees, single women, usually they don't have children, those families are taken for the whole year.
When would the program start?
We will most likely fly on Saturday, August 28th, and the return flight would be 4 weeks later.
Who will fly with my child?
Sandrine usually prefers to travel with them and will be in Ireland for a few days to answer any questions that may arise.
When would high school start?
In Ireland, schools are free to start from September 1st to 5th. In our case, some students this year completed 4 days of volunteering in Buncrana before starting at the school, as the start date has been delayed.
Will the first two weeks of September be credited at my Spanish school?
We will send you an enrollment letter from Ireland to justify the absences of the first two weeks of September. Your center will be delighted that their student matures and improves their English during those weeks.
When will I receive information about the family and the school?
We will have information about the family and the school approximately one month before departure.
What information is included in the profile?
It's a detailed profile about the members, what they do, what they like to do, etc...
Do you know the families firsthand?
Many of the families have hosted students before, and we can put you in touch with our students' permission so you can ask them any questions.
The return trip is on September 25th. Students can travel independently with Aer Lingus; those over 16 can fly with Ryanair, although most often a parent or guardian will pick them up. Sometimes parents arrange to bring several students together, but this cannot be guaranteed.
