About us...

mackdonald language academy offers small and personal English language courses to students worldwide, between the ages of nine and twenty.

m.l.a. operates on an all inclusive package with no hidden costs: Tuition, accommodation, transfers, sports, many cultural and social activities and tours are included in the course price.

We offer many activities, excursions, cultural tours, sports and social events after school. This allows the student to embrace a real flavour of Ireland and its people.

The variety of extracurricular programmes guarantees that the learning process continues outside the classroom, in a relaxed and fun-loving environment.

Students stay with an Irish host family in Kilkenny, who in turn, has been carefully selected by m.l.a. By staying in a host family each student has the great opportunity of getting to know the “Irish way of life” during their stay in Ireland.

Host family accommodation consists of half board (breakfast, packed lunch and dinner) and full board at the weekend.

Please feel free to get in touch with some of our former students via the guest book. There, you can find out first hand, how they liked their stay with us in Kilkenny...
