About the Irish Way
Enjoy the rich heritage and tradition
of Ireland while also experiencing the country's distinct culture
face-to-face. This unique program, in it's 37th year, was founded on
the belief that fostering an appreciation of other cultures is an
important part of an individual’s development.
Students receive an education that goes beyond any nation. The Irish
Way is truly a lesson in international citizenship.
Since 1976, our executives, managers,
teachers and counselors have successfully led countless groups of
students to the Emerald Isle.
Our experienced team is dedicated to helping students learn the
Irish culture and Irish traditions, as well as maintaining the
highest level of education, safety, and fun.
The superior experience and safety that the Irish Way Team provides
is only matched by the quality selection of educational workshops,
classes, and fun-filled Irish tours provided to each student.
Goals of the Irish Way include:
•To provide students with the opportunity of living and learning in
a different cultural environment.
•To provide each student with a broad understanding of the cultural,
economic, political, and social life in contemporary Ireland.
