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, which you can purchase at the school,

but you don’t need it in order to attend classes.

We provide online resources, including lesson notes, that you’ll get access to to help you with your study between classes.
