No, lessons are fixed to the same time and day each week.
In these situations we will offer you any cancellations your teacher has during the term. If the time and day suits, then you can have that slot and your regular slot that week.
Our teachers are paid for their time here whether a student shows up or not, so scheduling an additional class outside of their schedule is just not viable for the school.
If a student is last in a teachers schedule then there is more flexibility to have a longer lesson the following week. We will always look at different ways of making up the class.
Read our term fees here.
Yes, term fees can be paid in 1, 2 or 3 payments throughout the term. 1st payment before term starts, 2nd payment due in the 2nd month of term, and the 3rd payment due in the 3rd month of term. Each additional payment incurs an administration fee of €8. Paying by 1 payment saves you money.
Term 1 starts after summer, around the first week of September for 15 weeks, and term 2 starts after christmas when schools go back and run for 22 weeks.
Yes, you can join anytime during the term if we have availability of your request. The listed term fee will be reduced accordingly.
