The Mini-Stay option is ideal for a group who want to enjoy all the quality and content of our renowned summer programmes, only sooner, or indeed later. Stay one week, stay two. We tailor-make the programme to suit the group's needs and duration. For those who refuse to compromise on the quality of their stay, our Mini-Stay Programme isn't just an option - it's the perfect choice.

Why Are We Different?

At Atlantic S.E.A.L. (Atlantic School of English and Active Leisure), we believe that the true value of an experience lies in its quality. Our Mini-Stay Programme is designed for students and parents who appreciate that excellence, authenticity, and a deep connection to the environment are worth every investment. Located in the picturesque town of Schull, South West Cork, our English immersive programme offers a unique opportunity to experience the very best of Irish life and culture.

Schull is a truly special place, attracting artists, nature lovers, and adventurers with its unrivalled natural beauty. As your Mini-Stay takes place during the off-peak season, you’ll enjoy everything this beloved destination has to offer—without the usual bustle. With expansive open spaces, stunning coastal views, and lush green landscapes, every moment is an opportunity to engage in a wealth of outdoor activities, including watersports, as well as rich cultural and creative experiences. It’s clear why we’ve chosen Schull as the home of Atlantic S.E.A.L.
