Host Family Accommodation
Our junior students have the option to stay with carefully selected Irish families. The families are handpicked by our dedicated staff and are checked on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to meet our high standards.
Initially families are selected on the basis of a friendly atmosphere, good food and clean, comfortable surroundings. Staying with a host family allows students to experience Irish customs and traditions firsthand. The families are located in the same suburb as the school so many students can walk to school. Students are picked up on arrival and dropped back on the day of departure to Cork Airport.
Host family accommodation is essentially a home away from home as students are integrated as part of the family and are well looked after by the family.
