Learn and grow in a magical country
Welcome to the land of folklore, traditional music and technology. If you’ve set your sights on a high school exchange in Ireland, you’re in for a great academic and cultural experience.
Learn for Life in Ireland
Ireland is well known for the quality of its education. Common subjects in high school include science, information technology, language, and economy. As an exchange student, you’ll be able to choose from a wide range of subjects. There’s also a chance you’ll get placed in the fourth, or transition, year, which tends to be less demanding than other years. In Ireland we offer a choice of Co-EdGuarantee, School-Subject-Guarantee, Sports-Guarantee and Arts-Guarantee at an additional cost (see website).
A great opportunity to learn another language
Tá Gaeilge agat? Your host family and teachers will speak English, but many residents of Ireland population speak Irish, or Gaeilge. Why not take this opportunity add another language to your skills set? You’ll have fun learning and your efforts will be much appreciated by your new friends.
Experience the Classic exchange in ireland
In Ireland we offer the Classic High School program, which provides the traditional exchange experience. You’ll live with a caring host family and attend a high school near your new home. You’ll be immersed each day in a new culture and share meals and other daily rituals with your host family. Throughout your entire exchange, you’ll be supported in both your home and host country by our One Team Across the Globe, who will work together to ensure you have a safe and successful exchange.
“One of the best things about being on exchange is that you get to experience, do and see things that you otherwise might not have had the opportunity, money or even desire to do. This is how you get to know your host country, meet other people and challenge yourself.“
