Classes: I liked the English language courses very much. But I did not understand that in these times there could be so many russians at the school. Do you support the aggressor?
Teachers: Very motivated , English language nationals.
Location: OK, 30 minutes by public transport to Dublin.
Activities:I chose the sailing courses. Activities were fun. But I did not learn a lot about sailing.
Housing: I stayed at a very nice family! Ms Mary cared a lot. Room was excellent. Food was great.
I started my internship at ICE a few months ago and all I can say is that the experience has been really positive. I get to meet amazing people from all over the World while being a part of the ICE-team. I’m grateful for all the unforgettable memories that I make along the way, as well as experiencing Ireland’s colorful culture with flowers and friendly people.
"I couldn´t describe the networking that I did and the apprenticeship that I had so far. Thank you ICE!"

I study at the Irish College of English and I can assure you that it´s really a different school. The care that the school takes with each student, reception, the teaching structure with the quality of the teachers, the friendliness of everyone and the location in Malahide are factors that make me ensure that my choice was the best I could have. I couldn´t forget to talk about the academic field... The fact that the school has a restricted number of students, comparing to another countries, helps to learn the language as if we have a close contact with the teachers. I confess that I didn't think I would develop my English so quickly. For the Brazilians who are reading this feedback, the problem that our people use to complain about big number of brazilians at the same school, is something that we don´t have here, we are just a few... Therefore, easier to develop the language and also, the perfect environment to make a lot of networking and friendships in each continent. I made the right choice! <3
Our trip with the group of children was unforgettable! Everything was amazing: studying, host families, after-school activities. The school location is perfect! It's so close to the seaside, beautiful park, train station and bus stops. It was so easy to get to the city center of Dublin. We spent there many hours walking the streets, visiting museums and relaxing in the cafés.
Host families supported us, helped and were very kind.
All of us dream to come back to Malahide one day.
Incredible experience for me. We always have apprehensions when we go to a new place but from the first minute I felt like at home, the staff is very very welcoming, the school great and the teachers too. I recommend 200%
It was one of the best experiences in my life. I stayed with a just family of Mary and Brian, they were heartwarming, friendly and very supportive like everyone else at the school. The school is very modern and cozy. All teachers are native speakers . I felt like a part of a big family !
