First Day
On arrival at Dublin International Airport watch out for a big m.l.a. sign – that is us! Once all students have arrived we will begin our journey to Kilkenny. The journey will take about 1 hour and 45 minutes and you will be able to chat with some of your fellow students.

When we arrive in Kilkenny you will meet your host parents for the first time. You will spend the evening getting to know your host parents and settling into your accommodation.

Second Day
After a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast with your host family you will receive your packed lunch for the day. Depending on your location a member of the host family will either walk with you or drive you to school.
There, you will meet all the other students and teachers.

Orientation begins with a short entry test which enables us to place each student in a class that meets their English language needs. The test will take about sixty minutes. After a short break, all students will go to their assigned class, and your first lesson begins.
