Viva Junior Summer School

At The Viva Junior Summer School in Dalkey, Dublin, we offer
(12 to 16 year old) learners a dynamic, fun, academic summer school. We believe that today’s learners are tomorrow’s leaders. We also believe that learning should be fun and immersive.

The CELTS Programme is structured around a morning academic programme fully linked through unique projects to the activity programme and accompanying educational trips.

Why celts ?

The CELTS programme was designed in-house to offer learners the opportunity to immediately use the language and topics learnt in class to better understand the world around them. Through the themes of Culture, Environment, Local Citizenship, Team Building, & Sustainability, learners will engage with language and content in a meaningful way.
