Located in Edmund Rice College, Carrigaline, Coláiste Chorcaí is a Cork-based, Irish Language Summer College run by experienced Irish teachers who are passionate about teaching Gaeilge. Our aim is to provide students with all the positive experiences of a Gaeltacht course, through daily fun and purposeful lessons, sports, music, dance, and activities, at a more affordable cost to parents, while staying in the comfort of their own home.

To achieve real progress in the speaking of Irish, it is important that students use Irish to the best of their ability at all times. Our staff will provide all the support and encouragement necessary. Lessons are planned and delivered in a fun and engaging manner using multiple methodologies to suit all learning styles. Their main aim is to increase the students confidence and fluency in the spoken and written language while having an enjoyable experience.

Groups are arranged according to age, and current school class/year. 

Our Múinteoirí are all experienced and passionate about teaching Irish using fun, active and purposeful methodologies. They are all registered with the Teaching Council of Ireland and all staff are fully Garda vetted.

Afternoon activities include a mixture of games, sports, music and dance. All activities are conducted through the medium of Irish and give students the opportunity to use their language skills while engaging in fun activities with friends. 

We also have a jam-packed outdoor activity day planned for all students that is included in the price. Activities include climbing wall, archery, survival skills and obstacle course. All activities are conducted through Irish and this day provides a great opportunity for students to practice all they have learned in a different and enjoyable setting.

We are certain that this positive experience in learning Irish will have huge benefits to all students as they return to school after the summer holidays and potentially go on to Irish college a bit further afield in the future.

We look forward to extending a huge Céad Míle Fáilte to your child this July!
