Blyth Academy Travel: Ireland Summer Trip (OSSD credit)

At Blyth Academy, we believe that travel during the teenage years is an essential part of a well-rounded education. Enrolling your teen in our Ireland summer travel program not only allows them to earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) credit but also to experience the world firsthand. This program is a great option for students Grades 9-12.

Discover the magic of Ireland, from Cork’s colourful streets to Dublin’s historic landmarks and rolling countryside. Explore medieval castles, experience Gaelic games, and wander through breathtaking valleys like Glendalough. Build friendships, grow your confidence, and create stories you’ll carry long after you leave the Emerald Isle.

Here's what a typical looks like on the trip:

Morning: Enjoy breakfast before starting the day with morning classes.

Afternoon: Set out on an excursion to Blarney Castle, home of the legendary Blarney Stone. Climb the medieval tower to kiss the stone and (if the legend holds true) earn the “gift of the gab.” Wander the enchanting castle gardens before returning for dinner together in community.
