Our Philosophy: We Represent You In Ireland

Reliable & High-Quality Programmes

It is our policy to do everything possible to make sure students of all ages experience a truly wonderful time through education and cultural awareness. The world today is a global community and we strive to deliver unique cultural and educational programmes that at their core are reliable and are of the absolute highest quality comparable to anywhere worldwide.

English Speaking

English is the primary language of Ireland and our country has a long and prestigious tradition in providing first class secondary school education and one of the highest levels of university enrolment in Europe through the medium of the English language. Traditionally known as the land of saints and scholars, Ireland’s schools and universities rank amongst the very highest worldwide, including amongst other English speaking countries, so you really are getting the very best in English education when you come to Ireland.

Programmes Tailored To Your Requirement

At the core of many of our programmes 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 give our students opportunities to practise their conversational skills with local students in a relaxed but supervised environment at a level that’s tailored to suit them.

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 programmes, this value becomes even more apparent.

20-Year Track Record Of Success

Equinox Education was established in 2005, and our tailor-made programmes, which 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 programmes better for our students, our testimonials from past international students really do speak for themselves.

''Our school had always wanted to study in beautiful Ireland. I contacted Equinox and told them a little about our school and our plans. Equinox arranged a fantastic programme for our school in collaboration with a local Irish school.

We spent a wonderful two weeks at Athy College and stayed with local host families. It was an amazing programme, and we loved Ireland and the Irish people.

Thank you, Equinox. We look forward to returning next year.''

Global Education Partner

I write this review as the Director of Speak and Go Idiomas, and I fully recommend their services. We have been working with them for several years.
Equinox is an outstanding partner when it comes to organising language immersion programmes in Ireland. Their team is extremely professional, attentive, and truly cares about each student’s well-being.
The host families are carefully selected, the schools are well-coordinated, and the communication is always clear and timely. Our students consistently return with positive experiences, improved language skills, and greater cultural awareness.''

Director of Speak and Go Idiomas 

“I felt at home in Ireland thanks to Equinox. The host family and educational support made my stay enriching and enjoyable.” 

Tom, Germany

Equinox Education Services is a very professional, reliable, and trustworthy company. As a consultant for European-funded programmes, I have been working with them for several years, sending students to participate in various educational programmes.

Working with Equinox feels like working with a family-run organisation—there is great attention to detail, and the entire team is incredibly helpful and highly professional. The host families are always kind and welcoming, creating a safe and comfortable environment for our students.

As the manager of my own organisation, I truly appreciate the full support I receive from Equinox, even when unexpected issues arise. We all know that working with young students can present challenges, especially as they adapt to a new environment, different food, and a new culture. Nonetheless, Equinox has always provided the best possible support in every situation.

I strongly recommend Equinox Education Services and look forward to continuing our collaboration on many more projects and programmes in the years to come.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire Equinox team for making it all possible.''
