FAQ
Are there classes for children?
We do not have classes designed for children. However, children over 12 years of age accompanied by a parent or guardian are welcome.
What will I need?
Just a notebook and pen!
We use the textbook series ‘Gaeilge Gan Stró’ (Irish Without Trouble) for some lessons. You can purchase the series at the school, but you don’t need it to attend classes.
We provide online resources, including lesson notes, that you can access to help you study between classes.
