Description

Ireland is the third largest island in Europe. It lies to the northwest of Continental Europe with the island of Great Britain lying to the east. Politically it is divided into the Republic of Ireland, a sovereign state occupying five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom, occupying the northeastern sixth of the island. The name 'Ireland' derives from the name Ériu (in modern Irish, Éire) with the addition of the Germanic word 'land'.

Courses available: Art, Biology, Business, Chemistry, English, Economics, French, German, Geography, History, Home Economics, Maths, Music, Physics, Religion, Computers, Physical Education.

Some schools offer extra English classes to international students but not all of them. Extra curricular activities vary in each school but usually sports are provided.

Highlights

* Accommodation
Full board accommodation in host families, this includes bed/breakfast, packed lunch & dinner. Students stay with carefully selected local host families and have either a visit or telephone contact with local director on a weekly basis.
Extra cultural visits can be arranged during school holidays and at weekends. Students may also join local clubs for sports and activities e.g football, basketball, judo, dance and music.

* Requirements
- Only Open to European Union Students.
- School principals make the ultimate decision on the appropriate class for any student following the face-to-face interview. Usually students under the age of 16 years go into 4th Year Transition Year, students between 16 17 years normally attend 5th. Students older than that go into 6th Year. At the end of the 6th Year students sit the Leaving Certificate Exam but this is a 2 years exam course (commencing in 5th Year), so it is very difficult for students to do it in one year.

* Language Requirements: at least intermediate level of English.
We need a reference letter of the English teacher.
