ABOUT US
Corrib County Education was initiated in 1989 originally to market the B&B self-catering industry. As the market expanded it became evident that there was a greater need to cater for the growing foreign student and educational sector.
Corrib became a key operator in this sector expanding its business into student short educational stays and language schools. It was quickly recognised as a leader in the field attracting foreign groups particularly French who were looking for partnerships to develop this expanding market.
We, Corrib Educate, are delighted to keep working with our clients and to continue building strong working relationships, hence cementing the hard work and endeavours that has been growing since the company set up over 35 years ago.
In the past 6 months in particular we have built a strong team where each member has varying experience that complements how we operate.
Our Goal
Our aim at Corrib Educate is to ensure that all mini stays get the best experience possible in our beautiful country. We are constantly working hard to procure the best accommodation (mainly through host families) and provide the best service for our partners.
Corrib offers high quality Education programmes
Corrib Educate offers high quality Education programmes in a safe environment with a variety of activities and cultural events. We have many host families in Galway, Dublin and Monaghan that have been loyal to us for years and we would welcome families to join us.
