Classic High School

Educatius matches students with a carefully selected Host Family and high school throughout Ireland. Placements can be in city locations or in more rural settings. Studying at a state school offers our students the chance to study alongside their Irish counterparts following a range of subjects and courses at Transition Year or Leaving Certificate levels. Educatius will always choose the school and subjects on behalf of the student based on their interests and skills. These families have a strong desire to welcome a foreign student and help them experience Irish culture.

My favorite moment, in all the great ones I had was probably the first night I spent with my host siblings. We were just talking and listening to music but it was just like I had already lived in the family for years.
