Welcome . . .
Husband and wife team John and Mary O’Grady founded and run O’Grady School of English. We specialise in summer courses for teenagers, and our camps are based in small rural communities in Co. Limerick, south west Ireland. Students live with local host families, and are immersed in rural life, in the "real" Ireland of the Welcomes.
Student numbers have grown year on year, and most students come to us by word of mouth. In fact, our 95% repeat and referral rate speaks for itself. Feel free to browse our site, and please visit our Contact page for any information required, or to book one of our courses.

Thank you so much for everything! Ginevra came back home happier than ever and her English has improved as well. She already misses all the other students and her lovely host family!
Dear Mary as usual Filippo has come back home full of enthusiasm and satisfaction for his experience. Thank you for your (and your whole team) carefulness and kindness. Many thanks again
J'ai adoré la journée à Dublin avec mes amies et la cohésion avec tous les élèves. Être en famille d'accueil avec d'autres étudiants était également une très bonne expérience et m'a permis de créer des amitiés solides. Ce séjour m'a apporté une meilleure maitrise de l'anglais et des souvenirs inoubliables !!
