About Liffey Academy of English
Liffey Academy of English sits a short walk from O'Connell Street, right on the river that gives it its name. It's one of our most-loved Dublin schools - bright, friendly and run by teachers who make speaking English feel like the easiest thing in the world.
Accredited by ACELS and a member of EAQUALS, the school keeps classes small (10–12 students) and its groups genuinely international, so English is the only common language from your very first morning.
