Country: IRELAND

Program: SELECT ( State and Private ) High School

Private boarding schools in Ireland are always a popular option amongst Irish and international students. School staff provide great pastoral support, creating a home away from home for the duration of the student’ s stay. In addition, to emphasise the importance of family in Ireland many boarding schools close every (or every second) weekend and students return home to be with family. Educatius will organise a host family for students who attend these schools. Selecting the Private Day school programme opens up the possibility to live and study in exciting cities such as Dublin and Cork or in typically Irish towns throughout the country.

With this experience, my whole way of looking at the world changed. You start to appreciate things you would have never thought of and you become a lot more open-minded, because you get to know more cultures and people. You enjoy the small things in life and stop worrying about other things.
