Cultural Exploration That Shapes Who You Become
Since 1998, we've believed that stepping into another culture is one of the most powerful ways a young person can grow.
Founded on a Simple Belief
The Irish Life Experience was founded on the belief that cultural exploration can play an important role in helping to develop a young adult's identity. Since 1998, our executives, managers, teachers, and counselors have successfully led countless groups of students abroad.
Our experienced team is dedicated to helping students learn about different cultures and traditions — while maintaining the highest level of education, safety, and fun.
The superior experience and safety the Irish Life Experience provides is matched only by the selection of educational classes, workshops, and fun-filled Irish tours provided to each student. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Three Promises to Every Student
To give students the opportunity of living and learning in a different cultural environment.
To provide each student a broad understanding of the cultural, economic, political, and social life of a contemporary country.
To offer an international travel experience that inspires students to explore other areas of the world.
