The Institute for the Advancement of Teaching, Learning and Leading in International Schools is proud to offer a two-week, three credit, summer intensive course, offered at Innisfree International College in Sligo, Ireland. The program, offered as either an undergraduate or graduate course, utilizes various approaches which immerse students in Irish history and culture. Classroom lectures and activities focusing on Irish history, literature, archaeology, politics, mythology, sports, and music are supplemented with visits to nearby literary, historical, and archaeological sites led by instructors. Specifically, the course includes field trips to Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery, local beaches renowned for surfing such as Rosses Point, and Parke's Castle.

Nestled on the shores of the picturesque Lough Gill, Innisfree International College provides students with an ideal environment in which to gain international experience, study, learn, reflect, or simply be inspired. While visiting the College, students have access to all of the necessary facilities -- lecture halls, an auditorium, a well-equipped library, and excellent IT services. Students will be staying in comfortable and spacious three and four bedroom apartments.
 
The program will be held from June 6-20, 2009. The $3,500 fee is totally inclusive, encompassing tuition, airfare, bus tours, beach visits, Irish dancing lessons, a tour of Dublin, a Gaelic football match, and all accommodations and meals.
