More about this camp

The Atlas Junior Programme is a homestay-based English summer course in Dublin, Ireland, taught at St Louis High School on Charleville Road in Rathmines, Dublin 6. The provider has run the programme since 2007. Programme and activities. Five course options are listed: Junior Fluency (JP20), Junior Fluency Cambridge (JP20FCE), Junior Fluency Plus (JP26), Junior Fluency Plus Cambridge (JP26FCE) and Junior Sustainability (JP20SUS). The numbers refer to weekly lesson counts, so the choice is between a standard and a longer teaching week, with Cambridge exam preparation and a sustainability theme available as specialisms. Daily activities and a full-day Saturday excursion are part of the programme, and private bus transport is provided. Accommodation and meals. Students live with experienced Irish host families rather than in a residence. This means the language continues outside class hours, but also that students travel between the family and the school each day and spend evenings under family rather than school supervision. Private bus transport is provided, which addresses the daily journey more directly than most homestay programmes in this catalogue. Meal arrangements should be confirmed with the provider. Ages, dates and duration. The programme accepts students aged 11 to 17 across all five courses. Six sessions are listed, beginning at the end of June. The number of available start dates gives more flexibility than most programmes here, which typically offer two or three. Location and travel. Rathmines is a residential district just south of Dublin city centre, described by the provider as leafy. Dublin Airport serves the city directly. Airport transfer arrangements are not stated as included and should be confirmed with the provider. Who the programme may suit. This course may suit families who want an English-speaking destination outside the UK, and students who would benefit from living with a family rather than in a residence. The provided bus transport makes it more practical than homestay programmes where students navigate public transport alone. Families wanting Cambridge exam preparation have that option built in. Those wanting on-site residential supervision should look elsewhere, as it is not offered here.
