These unique programs provide students with opportunities to engage deeply with history, culture, and personal development, all while upholding the core values of Kildare Ministries and the College's commitment to compassion, respect and global citizenship.
Greece and Italy Cultural Immersion (September 2026)
The Greece and Italy Cultural Immersion invites students to step into the cradle of Western civilisation. From the timeless ruins of Athens to the grandeur of Rome, this experience offers an unparalleled exploration of history and culture. Students will connect with the ancient and modern legacies of these regions, fostering an appreciation for art, history and food.
UK Arts and Sport Tour
The UK Arts and Sport Tour builds on the success of our College’s Arts and Sports Academies, combining creativity and athleticism in an international context. Students will attend world-class art exhibitions, captivating theatrical performances in London’s West End, and iconic sporting events at renowned venues. This tour celebrates the synergy between artistic and athletic excellence, providing students with an inspiring opportunity to deepen their passions while exploring new horizons.
These programs continue the legacy of success established by previous immersions to Singapore and Greece/Italy, which offered students life-changing experiences and profound personal growth. Participants returned enriched by cultural connections and motivated to embody the College's mission and values.
