We are currently seeking Residential and Teaching Assistants for our post-primary summer programmes in Dublin and for our primary programmes in Limerick and other centres in Ireland.

Each summer we host two 3-week and two 2-week sessions for second level students on DCU campus. The secondary programmes attract over 600 students, who live on campus or commute, while participating in their chosen course. We also run week long, day classes for primary school students during the weeks of July. These courses run in Glasnevin Campus.
