Thinking of trying out hosting? This autumn is the perfect time to see how it fits your lifestyle while earning extra income for Christmas, college fees, or a relaxing late-season break. Hosting is a fantastic way to make a real difference in a student’s life while boosting your household budget.

You remain in total control of your experience. You choose the age, gender, and duration that best fits your needs, and we handle all the details to match you with a student who will feel like a perfect fit for your home.

Beyond the financial benefits, hosting offers a wonderful sense of purpose. You’ll meet incredible people, share your culture, and build friendships that often last a lifetime—all from the comfort of your own home. There is no pressure to commit long-term; why not give it a go this season and see how much you enjoy it?

Our learners love living locally and are eager to experience life in our community. Are you ready to see how hosting can work for you?

Ages 10 to 86, with 9 different nationalities this week—what an incredible atmosphere! 🌍✨

At Atlantic School of English and Active Leisure, we are a proper family affair. We thrive under three roofs: our dedicated Junior centre, our Adult centre, and the vast, open sky that frames the rugged beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way here in South West Cork. While our centres are separate to ensure the best experience for every age, they are just a stone’s throw from one another, both perfectly positioned right by the Atlantic.

From scavenger hunts to historical excursions and dramatic coastal adventures, our students have been busy living, learning, and laughing together. It’s the perfect way to forge lifelong friendships from all over the globe.

86 years young this year- Dieter came here many many years ago and has been returning annually since; always choosing to come when wild blackberries are ripe for picking and eating, which he says reminds him of when he was a child. this time he comes with his partner Helene, , his grandson and has been here with his daughter, son and other grandchildren. He’s the most senior student but has by far the broadest mind and most youthful spirit- a great attitude to life. Dieter is using his mind and body in our programmes and is constantly learning and in awe. A huge thanks to Anne and Paul Phillips who host him with great kindness and love! 💕
