Become part of the team!
Atlas Language School is a large, developing school based in Dublin, Ireland. We specialise in teaching English, but also teach other languages – Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. Our teaching approach is eclectic, but based on a communicative, task-based approach with a strong focus on individual needs. We provide professional and high-quality language courses for students with various goals and focuses. We are a Trinity and a Cambridge English exam centre, a Trinity CertTESOL teacher training provider, and an Eaquals accredited school. We have a year-round school in Malta, and run junior summer centres in Ireland and England.
We also know that our language programmes are only as good as the team we have working here at Atlas. That is why we do all we can to ensure we have in place experienced and enthusiastic teachers who enjoy working with language students.
