Studying in Ireland: the balanced choice
If this is your family’s first experience abroad, Ireland is almost always my first recommendation. It is a safe, family-oriented country, just over two hours from Spain, and the total cost — school plus host family — is far below a boarding school in the UK or the USA.
Students can join Junior Cycle, the famous Transition Year, or Senior Cycle. Depending on age, academic record and goals, I propose the school and formula that fit best: day school with host family for full immersion, or a traditional Irish boarding school with superb facilities.
How it works
First we talk — no strings attached — and you tell us what the student needs and what you are looking for. We prepare a personalised proposal of schools and accommodation, then guide you through enrolment, paperwork, flights and arrival. We have team members and a network in Ireland, the United States, England and Malta; in Ireland, our structure in the country coordinates each case and supports you throughout the year. Host families are selected using clear criteria; some have worked with our network for years, while others join after completing the selection process.
Prefer to try a summer first? Have a look at our summer camps in Ireland, or compare with the school year in the United Kingdom.
