Ireland is one of the most popular destinations for students learning English, consistently ranking within the top five alongside the UK and the US, and is “one of the most exciting places to learn English right now”, according to Christopher Mediratta, CEO of ILSC Education Group.
Mediratta hopes to bring the company’s forward-thinking, dynamic learning style to students in Berlitz Dublin, he said.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring this dynamic city into our global network and to build on the momentum that Mark and his talented team have created at Berlitz Dublin,” he continued.
“Joining ILSC Education Group is a fantastic opportunity for our school, our staff, and our students,” said Mark Harrington, managing director of Berlitz Dublin.
“We’re proud of what we’ve built here in Dublin, and we’re excited to combine our strengths with ILSC Education Group’s global reach and its unique approach to language education through offering dynamic and diverse classes that connect English learning with students’ passions and goals.”
Berlitz Dublin marks ILSC’s 10th school, joining the group’s other schools in locations such as New Delhi and Toronto.

It opened its doors over 100 years ago in 1900 as one of the earliest language schools to open in Ireland, utilising the immersive “Berlitz Method” created by Maximilllian Berlitz in 1878 to deliver innovative language learning to students around the world.

New General English elective class options will be available for students arriving in January 2026, bolstering Berlitz Dublin’s current selection, which includes English, French and Hindi programs.
