At Cork English College, we’ve been welcoming young learners for over 40 years – and our Host Family Junior Programme continues to be one of the most popular ways for teenagers to experience Irish culture while improving their English.
Based in Douglas, a lively suburb just outside Cork City, this programme offers students the chance to live with carefully selected Irish host families, giving them an authentic taste of daily life in Ireland in a warm, welcoming home environment.
Each day is a mix of engaging English classes and exciting activities designed to help students use English naturally, make friends, and build confidence.

- Full-board accommodation with local host families in or near Douglas
