These are programs organized in the summer months for students aged 11-18, where English education and activities are intertwined. In Irish summer schools, where classes are held for half a day, social and sportive activities are organized in the other part of the day, accompanied by guidance teachers, while visiting historical and touristic places and surrounding cities. Young people who participate in the summer school program can often find the opportunity to practice English outside of the lessons, they mingle and establish friendships with their peers from different countries for the same purpose. Students who have the option to stay in a student dormitory have counselors who can be reached 24 hours a day if needed. Students, who are met at the airport by a school staff and transported to their accommodation, are closely observed during social activities and excursions.
