KILA is a newly established academy in Killarney and is now offering a wide variety of quality language programmes for students from around the world.
We greet each student with a warm welcome to Ireland and want your educational experience to be positive and enjoyable. We have small, professionally managed classes with friendly teachers. An active social schedule supplies many opportunities to use English in a natural setting and makes learning ESL a wonderful experience.

KILA welcomes English students of all levels from complete beginner to advanced. With our long term programme, we give help and information to job seekers and those intending to stay as residents in Ireland. The multimedia/resource room is the newest addition to the school and is open to all students. Junior courses, which are full of active and fun ways to learn English, are also available in February, July and August.

Our teachers are all experienced in TEFL and have taught ESL in Ireland and EFL abroad. Their qualifications are recognised by the Department of Education. Our Academic Director has over 10 years teaching experience and uses a topic based syllabus designed to learner's needs. Staff will be there to give advice for any enquiries you have relating to your study progress or stay and will arrange private consultation when needed for optimum attention. We are sure you will be happy at our Academy.
