  • Arrange to get a mobile phone if required
  • Host family arrangement for school holidays for boarding students etc (Host family fee charged separately).

  • If a problem can not be sorted by phone or e-mail and an extra visit is required, then this is charged at a rate of €200 per visit plus expenses. Details of such visits will be shown on the end of term statement .
  • Extra airport transfers: If extra transfers are required (eg. going home for a long holiday), the charge is €150 each way

  2. A monthly fee priced from €280 per month during the duration of a student’s stay.

Tailor-Made Programs

At the core of many of our programs is the development of communication skills in real life settings. As well as covering the four basic skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening, we have designed varying activities that gives our students opportunities to practice their conversational skills with local students in a relaxed but supervised environment at a level that’s tailored to suit them.

Safe Location

Ireland is internationally recognized as a friendly, safe country, which is backed up by statistical research and various surveys. For some, the prospect of leaving home and heading off into the unknown is daunting, but studying abroad is also an exciting challenge that often leads to improved career opportunities and a broader understanding of the way the world works. Choosing to study in Ireland, which is one of the safest locations in the world…there is no better option

The Irish have a huge maternal side and love to welcome or ‘mother’ new guests. If staying with a host family, you’re sure to be treated as one of the family. All of Ireland’s higher education institutions and Equinox Education Services have a designated staff member to whom international students can turn for any assistance. Simply put, we’re a friendly, welcoming bunch of people, and that’s why international students get so much out of the Irish experience.

Unrivalled Value For Money

An academic term or year abroad provides students with an invaluable opportunity for personal development, increasing cultural knowledge and awareness, and gaining confidence in using another language. The value for money we provide in facilitating this unique opportunity is second to none. When you consider the levels of support for students on our programs, this value becomes even more apparent.

15 Year Track Record Of Success

Equinox Education was established in 2005, and our tailor-made programs, that we run in association with our partner schools here in Ireland, have been continuously developed and refined ever since the first one was launched back in 2005. Always striving year after year to make our programs better for our students, our testimonials from past international students really do speak for themselves.

“Equinox has been the highlight of my daughters’ summer! Their organisation is flawless, their classes stimulating and effective, their leisure activities varied and fun! I warmly thank Equinox for both their kindness and professionalism! I highly recommend it!"

Italy

Equinox Education Services were excellent from start to finish. They found us a choice of summer camps in France last year which we were looking for our sixteen-year-old daughter to attend to improve her French and have fun in a safe environment. They took a lot of care to help us decide on a course that suited her ability and interests and personality. It was her first time abroad travelling herself so we were anxious, but Equinox were very reassuring, their expertise and experience ensured all went smoothly. I would recommend Equinox for peace of mind when choosing a language course abroad for teenagers.
