Information

English language school in Dublin Atlas Language School was founded in Dublin in 2003 with just one classroom and one student but expanded quickly to become one of the fastest-growing language schools in Ireland.

Atlas Language School´s first location was in the centre of Ranelagh; they had to move to a new place in Dublin as the premises became too small. It was the same scenario with the second location, and they had to move to a third location, the one in Portobello House, a beautiful landmark building in the heart of Dublin.

Atlas Language School’s new school in Portobello is a state-of-the-art facility with 24 classrooms, a student cafe, a library, a meditation room, a computer lab, and a large student relaxation area. We welcome students worldwide to courses, including General English, Exam Preparation, and Junior Programmes.

Atlas Language School in Dublin is accredited by and recognised by ACELS, a service of Quality and Qualifications Ireland, for English language teaching (ELT) and EAQUALS, meeting high standards in all areas, including education, course programmes, as well as course organisation, testing, and evaluation. The school is a member of MEI and ALTO and is accredited and recognised by Cambridge, TOEIC, and Trinity College Examination Centres. As a great recognition of what we do, Atlas Language School has won the ST Star Awards for Best English Language School in Europe in 2017 and 2019.
