Your son or daughter is fully integrated into the Irish education system: attending the same school, following the same curriculum and mixing with local students every day. A real English immersion experience that also gives them an internationally recognised qualification. You can choose a term, a semester or the full academic year.
Ireland offers different school options depending on each family's preferences, budget and academic goals. Every type of school is a different experience within the Irish education system.
Publicly funded schools offering a complete academic and technical education. They are the most common and accessible option, with an inclusive atmosphere and an excellent range of activities.
Schools where boys and girls study together in the same classrooms. They encourage equality and social development, and prepare students to work in real, diverse environments.
Privately funded schools with first-class facilities and exclusive programmes. With smaller classes and personalised attention, they focus on academic excellence.
Prestigious schools that offer accommodation within the school itself, alongside teaching. Irish boarding schools stand out for their tradition, discipline and comprehensive personal development programmes.

This is everything worth preparing before your son or daughter starts the school year in Ireland. Don't worry: we accompany you step by step throughout the whole process.
The passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the return date.
Students with EU citizenship do not need a visa for a school year in Ireland. If your case is different, we review the requirements and the embassy or consulate application with you.
The insurance must cover medical expenses, hospitalisation and repatriation, and include accident and civil liability cover. It is already included in our programmes.
The last two completed school years. In some cases, the transcript must be translated and legalised.
At least one letter from a teacher or the school principal confirming the student's academic performance and conduct.
A letter written by the student themselves explaining their reasons for studying abroad and their goals.
Some schools ask for a certificate proving the student's English level. We guide you on which one you need.
A declaration from the parents or legal guardians confirming the financial capacity to cover all expenses (tuition, accommodation, transport, etc.).
Irish schools usually ask for tuition and administrative costs to be paid in advance. We confirm the exact costs of the chosen school with you.
A general medical certificate including the student's up-to-date vaccination schedule.
Complying with the required vaccination schedule. We review with you which vaccinations should be up to date before arrival.
Depending on the programme, the following may also be required:
Some programmes include an interview to assess the student's motivation and suitability.
An official authorisation signed by the parents or legal guardians allowing participation in the programme.
Some programmes require signing a document accepting the rules of the programme and the school.
To make for a smooth adaptation:
We recommend (and in some cases require) a cultural and language preparation course before arriving in the country.
Information about Irish customs and cultural norms to encourage integration and avoid misunderstandings.
We're here to help! Our team supports you through every requirement so that everything is ready before arrival.
We support you from your very first question to the day your son or daughter boards the plane. This is the process, step by step.
We talk with the family to get to know the student, their interests and their goals. Free of charge and with no obligation.
We suggest a list of schools and destinations that match the student's profile, both in large cities and in quieter areas.
We review and prepare all the documentation: academic record, letters, authorisations and translations if they are needed.
We send the application to the schools and prepare the in-person or online interview with the student when the school requires it.
We confirm the school place and select a carefully assessed host family close to the school.
We organise the flight, insurance, transfers and the meeting with the local coordinator in Ireland. From then on, support throughout the whole school year.
The questions families ask us most before taking the leap.
Tell us about your situation and we will reply with no obligation, within 24 hours.
