School description

Future Learning (FL) is not a traditional language school. We are a project-based, technology-enhanced school which means that we specialise in teaching English through collaborative projects which lead to the creation of digital media products. Our unique programmes focus on developing the 21st-century skills of collaboration, creative problem solving, intercultural communication as well as the effective use of technology.

At FL we use the power of collaborative projects and technology as a tool to enable learners to explore, engage with and communicate a rich and authentic experience of the world along with its different cultures and languages. We are unique in what we do and we aim to change the way people see educational travel programmes. We want to open learners' minds about the range of skills that they need to develop so they collaborate effectively with others of all nationalities in the world that they live, work and study in.

School location

Athlone, also part of Ireland’s Ancient East, and just one hour from the Wild Atlantic Way, is the perfect location for those who want to escape the big city for a truly Irish experience in this lively regional town in the heart of Ireland, while still being within easy reach of Dublin airport.

Athlone, soon to be a university town, is a historical medieval Irish town located on the beautiful River Shannon. It attracts many tourists and international students and is a busy regional centre for top businesses. Considering that the town centre is only 1.5 hours from Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Kilkenny, with excellent bus and rail
connections, it is also surprising how much more affordable the cost of living is here.

The friendly welcome will be the biggest attraction for our students who are looking for somewhere homely. We know you will be impressed with Athlone and not to mention the FL school facilities which are excellent.
