Dalmac has been providing its Academic Term or Year Programme since 1989 and have therefore established excellent links with a wide variety of schools throughout Ireland.
Our Academic Term or Year Programme is designed for students who wish to bring their English language skills to a high fluency level. Dalmac students are placed according to their age, in either a ‘Primary’ school or ‘Post Primary’ school and will participate in school-life as a typical Irish student.
The Education System in Ireland is structured in two levels- “Primary” and “Post Primary” (Secondary) schools:
An Irish “Post Primary” (Secondary) school can be a 5 or 6 year cycle.
4th Year (Transition Year) is offered in some schools, it offers both academic and practical learning.
When booking with Dalmac, students may request the following types of school:
Students who opt to attend boarding school will stay in on-campus residence. If required students can be placed in host family accommodation for weekends and school closures/holidays.
From experience Dalmac has observed that students maximise their learning experience when staying with host-families as opposed to other forms of accommodation, as a result we offer host family accommodation with Irish families for all our Programmes.
