Bridge Mills Galway Language Centre is located in The Bridge Mills, a historic 18th century mill situated on the River Corrib in the centre of Galway. From the school windows there is a superb view of the river below with its colonies of swans and wild birds, and in the distance, Galway Bay and the hills of Co. Clare. The school, the oldest in Galway, began in 1987 as a small group of teachers wishing to bring academic excellence and a high standard of personal attention to students visiting from overseas to study English in Galway. We have now expanded to our present year-round school with 17 classrooms and an average of 250 students per week (full and part-time), but we have never forgotten the principles of the early school.
