The Location

The Apollo Year-Round School is situated in the heart of Dublin city centre (Dublin 2), just a short 10-minute walk from the bustling shopping areas of Grafton Street and St Stephen’s Green. Lad Lane is a quiet street located just off Baggot Street in the city’s central business district, providing a peaceful environment for students to study while being close to the vibrant city life. Notably, the school is conveniently located right next door to the European Headquarters of LinkedIn, which adds to the dynamic atmosphere of the area.

Students will find themselves surrounded by a wide variety of amenities, including an abundance of coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and shops right at their doorstep, making it easy to enjoy a quick bite to eat or relax with friends between classes. This prime location not only enhances the overall educational experience but also allows students to immerse themselves in Dublin’s rich culture and lively community.
