The Boskill Equestrian Centre and Homestay Family House

School Introduction

Our school is set in a small village where students expierience Irish rural life, and interact with local boys and girls.We have an equestrian centre where children from 4 years old ate taught how to ride their pony, along with adults who showjump and trek across the countryside.Students are encouraged to interact and make friends with the staff and costumers of the equestrian centre.Our school is our home with all the family taking part in helping the students to enjoy their stay and learn english in the beautiful Irish countryside.At caherconlish boskill Language Centre, we understand that every student has different language needs and goals and so each program is customized to each individual student. Because students have the freedom to choose what particular language skills they wish to focus on, when they wish to study, and which teacher is best suited to their learning style. boskill is known for creating a happy environment that is fun, friendly.

ESL Program Introduction

We cater for all levels of students from basic to advanced with two tefl techers on the staff full time. A national school teacher supervises the program which is designed for each student based on their level of english. Classes are held in the morning each weekday , with afternoon free for activities such as horseriding , tennis , and football. All staff are garda vetted , have certificates in first aid and child protection courses. Saturdays are spent going shopping or visiting places of interest.On arrival the students are given a small test to find out there level of english they are at , Classes are always small so that one to one tution can be given and every student is helped during the day to improve the english.We opperate a 'Buddy' system where each puil is matched with an irish child , which helps with improving their understanding of the english language.
