What people are saying about Scoil Scairte

“I've been doing Duolingo for about 5 years and I think it can only take you so far. Scoil Scairte is a deeper immersion with its guests, learning hub and Meitheal community. It has really made me determined to continue the journey.”

Sean O Connor, Scoil Scairte participant

“Scoil Scairte is the most accessible trip to Ireland one can imagine. The world-class group of hosts, presenters, teachers, and musicians left no part of the language, culture, history, landscape and lived reality untouched or unspoken of. I am looking at my Irish ancestors, who all came to the US five generations back, in a new way. A few words are now on the lips of my children and family, and I feel anything is possible with the Irish language.”

Antaine Ó Raiftearaí, USA, Scoil Scairte participant

“Scoil Scairte is like medicine for the Celtic soul. It is enriching, empowering, welcoming and safe. It has been a beautiful way to connect and learn the ancient language of the land of which I was born but was separated from. It has been a wonderful feeling of returning home.”

Maeve Colombo, Scoil Scairte participant
