Live the language
Feel part of an Irish family.
Our hosts are native English speakers. They welcome you into their family life, giving you opportunities to practise speaking and listening in a relaxed, everyday setting.
We have built strong relationships with our host families. Their modern, comfortable homes offer a welcoming base while you study English and explore Killarney.
All host families live within 30 minutes of the school. If you prefer to stay near the town centre or in the countryside, tell us and we will try to find a suitable family.
