Policies and Terms

By enrolling your child in a course, you agree to accept the Terms and Conditions outlined below without any modification.

1 - Riail na Gaeilge

Students are strongly encouraged to engage in all course activities and are actively urged to speak Irish consistently. As such, we require all students to make a sincere effort at all times to communicate in Irish. Any student who fails to cooperate in this in respect to (a), (b) and (c) below will be sent home without a refund. Maintaining this environment is essential for the success of the course, as well as for the progress and enjoyment of both students and staff. This expectation must be fully understood by parents, students, and staff members alike.

(a) Any student found speaking in English with no sincere effort to use Irish will receive a warning, and the incident will be recorded.

(b) A second offense will result in a final warning, and parents/guardians will be informed of the violation.

"Speaking in English" refers to using English sentences to communicate without attempting to express any of the same in Irish.
