Location: ICE Irish College of English Junior Summer Centre is inKildare, about 45 minutes by car from the centre of Dublin. The programme is housed in Clongowes Wood College, a well known Irish Boarding School, right in the heart of the Irish countryside.
Course structure: The English classes take place in the morning from 09:15 to 12:30 during the weekdays, with a 15-minute break in the middle. Teachers will provide students with progress reports throughout their stay, and there is a certificate of attendance given at the end of the course.

Activities: There are two or three off-site trips to Dublin; two activities in the centre of the city and one dinner in the capital city. For the rest of the afternoons and evenings during the weekdays, the school provides students with a well organised social programme on campus. During the weekends, students will be taken on a full day excursion to an Irish city or local attraction.
