THE SCHOOL
 An ever changing scenery, the fascinating limestone formations of the Burren and the ruggedly romantic Atlantic coastline are only some of the attractions at Holywell.
The contrast between an open lush flora and sometimes bare areas create a bizarre and rugged but at the same time sensuous impression.
Our English language school is a unique type of language centre. English is taught at various levels and combined with cultural and leisure activities in unusual surroundings.
The entire operation includes the Language Centre and a Guesthouse situated in over 40 acres of land at the foot of the Burren hills with scenic views across Galway Bay.
