The former years were based on summer junior markets only with schools throughout Ireland operating for the months of June, July and August. Gradually the school stretched their junior market to include the academic year as well with school groups coming from September to June. The school is now one of Ireland's leaders in this field with a far reaching reputation throughout Europe. In 2005 the school opened all year round school in the very heart of Dun Laoghaire and is very proud with its success to date. Students from all over the non English speaking world have experienced ALL. The school is a family run business and is dedicated to all students and teachers and offer quality English Language Programmes with the highest academic standards. The school appreciates students cultural needs with regard to accommodation and the overall design of a linguistic programme.

愛爾蘭的語言學校，有很多義大利人與西班牙和巴西人唸居多，之外歐洲國家的還有法國人、俄國人與德國人，亞洲國家日本人居多，我也因此交到很多很棒的朋友，也謝謝他們很照顧我。由於都是拉丁語系又國家的地理位置都充滿了陽光，所以大家都非常的熱情，跟他們在一起不禁會被他們歡愉的氣氛給感染，像陽光般一樣給了好心情。

上英文課時，老師的教法不像台灣的教法較硬生生，就算去補習班補英文，也有一種為了升學考試而教，有一種趕鴨子上架的感覺，在愛爾蘭雖然是用英文解釋文法與課程，但奇怪的是反而聽得更懂，老師們都很自然的用他們的語言與邏輯來解釋，會讓英文更加清楚。而課程用一個星期為單位，不會因為教會了就跳下一單元趕進度，而是不斷反覆的練習將那個單元所教的讓學生更熟能收巧的使用。
住宿時，在公共廚房跟不同國家的人一起吃飯一起做飯真的很有趣，義大利人煮義大利麵與做義大利料理、俄國人調烈酒、巴西人做南美的甜點而我就做了幾道台式的料理，大家一起坐在餐桌前聊天放著音樂，吃完後一起看英文字幕的電影，假日一起約出去戶外走走，真的是很幸福的事。

家族経営の学校と言う事もあり、アットホームで一人一人へのサポートが行き届いているように感じました。

授業も、分からない所は理解できるまで徹底的に教えて頂き苦手な文法も克服できました。
立地も落ち着いた場所にあるのでゆったりとしたアイルランド生活を楽しむ事もでき、電車でダブリンに行ったことも良い思い出です。
初めは課外活動をきっかけにクラスメイトと仲を深めることができました。友達を作るのは言語が違う分、本当に大変でしたが身体を動かしながら絆を深めることができました。
学校側の熱心なサポートのおかげだと思い。この学校を選び悔いはありません。
