We invite you to immerse yourself in nature and study English in the hidden heartlands of Ireland. Lir Language School offers year round English Language courses in General English, Business English and English for Specific Purposes. Our team of qualified CELTA native English speaking teachers will design a program to suit your individual requirements and ensure you get the ultimate authentic Irish experience.
We offer accommodation in host families or our apartment at Castle Saunderson Scout Centre nestled between the waterways of Upper Lough Erne and the drumlins of the surrounding counties of Cavan and Fermanagh. Located in the broadleaf woodland there are Adirondack shelters and a hammocking area. You will find multiple campfire circles on site to enjoy after an exciting day of onsite activities.
We offer intensive and part time courses combined with a wide range of nature, music and adventure experiences. We offer internships for longer stays and expert mentoring on choosing a career via our Inner Peace for Outer Purpose program available online and in person.
