SEDA Summer School, Galway
Join our team in Galway this summer and teach English to international juniors at one of Ireland's most welcoming language schools.
ABOUT SEDA
SEDA College is an accredited Irish English language school with year-round
centres in Dublin and Cork, and summer programmes in Galway and Limerick.
Our Galway summer school runs from 30 June to 11 August 2026 at Yeats
College in the city centre, with students living at our residence at
Queen Street Place (Mezzino), opposite Eyre Square.
Students are international juniors aged 13–18, mainly from Italy, Spain
and Brazil, with smaller numbers from other countries. The programme is
fully residential and all-inclusive — students study in the morning and
take part in afternoon and evening activities, weekend excursions, and
weekly social events.
