Dublin, Ireland & Vancouver, Canada – August 6, 2025 

ILSC Education Group is proud to announce the newest chapter in its global journey, through the acquisition of Berlitz Dublin, a highly respected English language school, and a long-standing Berlitz franchise. The acquisition of this school in Ireland, a country that consistently ranks among the top 5 global English learning destinations, marks a significant addition to ILSC Education Group’s footprint and represents the company’s first venture into the European market.

This milestone reflects ILSC Education Group’s unwavering commitment to expanding access to transformative language education experiences worldwide. Berlitz Dublin has gained a strong reputation for providing quality English language training in its new campus in the Liberties neighborhood of Dublin, known for its traditional pubs, weekend markets, and tourist attractions.  Berlitz Dublin offers exceptional global leadership training for business leaders, as well as access to the Berlitz suite of online language programs.

“Dublin is bursting with energy, culture, and opportunity—it’s one of the most exciting places in the world to learn English right now,” said Christopher Mediratta, CEO of ILSC Education Group. “As a top five global English language destination, Dublin offers our students not just a place to study, but a vibrant environment to grow, connect, work and thrive. 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.”

“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.” He continued, “We’re also delighted to bring Berlitz Dublin’s long-standing expertise in corporate language training to add strength to ILSC Education Group’s existing corporate training portfolio.”

Housed in modern premises in the vibrant, historical Liberties district in Dublin 8, the school will transition to the ILSC brand in the coming months. ILSC will be introducing a suite of ILSC General English elective class options for students arriving in January 2026 to enhance the current offerings to students at the school.  The Berlitz brand will continue to provide a suite of corporate programs at the Liberties campus.

ABOUT BERLITZ DUBLIN
Founded in July 1878 by Maximilian Berlitz in Providence, Rhode Island, Berlitz International pioneered a new immersion-based approach to language learning that would become the global “Berlitz Method” and expand rapidly through the 19th and 20th centuries.

Locally rooted since 1900, Berlitz Dublin opened its doors at the turn of the century, becoming one of Ireland’s earliest language schools. Since then, it has supported generations of Dubliners who have learned new languages for business, travel, and personal growth.

Over the past decade, Berlitz Dublin has undergone a dynamic transformation—relocating to a vibrant new campus in The Liberties district, investing in state-of-the-art facilities, and enhancing its focus on innovative language training for both individuals and corporate clients, along with unforgettable student experiences. These developments have helped elevate its standing within Dublin’s educational landscape.
