Description
The ATC language centre in Bray offers intensive language courses all year round and a seaside holiday. The city is a 35-minute drive from Dublin. There are many parklands and gardens and residences of the aristocrats who used to come here every summer. Now they are a Victorian delight for visitors to the city.
The school is well-equipped - after the lessons you can relax in the cafeteria with a veranda in the garden or bask in the sun in the yard. It overlooks the sea and the Wicklow mountains. Sports activities available on request include golf, swimming, bowling and horse riding. On the day of arrival kids will be taken for a walk around Bray, weekends are spent on the excursions to Glendaloch Glacier Valley, Titanic Belfast Museum and historic Kilkenny Castle. The kids spend their evenings with their host families, watching films in the original or visiting the theatre.
Children stay with their host families. The host families are carefully selected by ATC's Campus Accommodation Team. Families are a 15-50 minute walk away. Rooms for 1-3 people with shared facilities. Meals are provided three times a day.

In July, my sixteen-year-old son had a two-week study holiday at ATC Bray, and it was an incredible experience. The teachers were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, and the well-structured program made it easy for him to adjust to his new environment.
My son not only benefited academically but also had a fantastic time in Dublin. The city is vibrant and filled with history and culture, making it an ideal backdrop for a study holiday. The program's balance between classes and leisure activities allowed him to explore the city and interact with students from around the world. This cultural exchange was a valuable experience that broadened his horizons and provided him with a global perspective.
I'd also like to mention the host family accommodation provided by ATC. They went above and beyond to make my son feel welcome and comfortable. Living with a local family enriched his experience, allowing him to immerse himself in the culture and practice his language skills in a real-life setting. The warmth and hospitality of the host family were a significant part of what made this experience so special.
In conclusion, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to ATC for providing such a wonderful opportunity for my son. The memories and experiences he gained during his time here, along with the invaluable experience of staying with a host family, will stay with him for a lifetime. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and we wholeheartedly recommend this program to other parents and their children. Thank you, ATC, for making this a truly remarkable and transformative experience.
