There is also the possibility to attend cultural events, for example a Gaelic football match.
Students, who are interested in horses, have the option of accompanying us to a local horse show.
As it is a farm, the schedule may change, but this will give you an idea of how you/ your child will spend their time in Ireland.
By taking part in every activity proposed by us, the students are constantly speaking/listening to English being spoken, which gives them a wide vocabulary.
We welcome students between the age of 10 and 16, with all levels of English.
How many students will be on your farm?
The average number of students on the farm at one time is six. As there are two houses on the farm; we try, where possible, to separate the students based on their native language. We are very strict about English being the only language spoken while they are here.
Will my child have to share a bedroom and/or a bathroom?
Your child will be sharing a room with another student. Where possible, we try not to have two students of the same native language sharing a room. They will have to share the family bathrooms.
