Irish host families
Full board with hand-picked families in Limerick and Galway, one to two students per home and never two speakers of the same first language.
- Garda-vetted adults
- Home visits every season
- Breakfast, packed lunch, dinner
Accommodation & safety
A real Irish home, and adults who are accountable for it
Where a student sleeps decides whether the summer works. We vet, visit and re-check every host family, and we publish exactly how supervision runs.
Where students stay
Supervised residence
For groups who prefer campus living: single-sex floors, en-suite twin rooms and resident staff sleeping on site.
- 24-hour staff presence
- Full-board canteen
- Secure key-card access
Group leader hosting
Visiting teachers stay close to their students, in a private room in a host home or a residence single room.
- Private room, full board
- Daily director briefing
- Free place ratios on request
Pastoral care
Supervision you can audit, not just trust
Safeguarding
A designated safeguarding officer, written child protection policy, and vetting for every adult who works with students.
24/7 welfare line
A staffed emergency phone, answered by a member of the senior team — not a call centre — at any hour.
Supervision ratios
1:10 on activities, 1:8 on water-based sessions, and a full roll call at every transfer point.
Parent handbook
Everything a family needs before departure: packing list, pocket money guidance, medical and consent forms, phone and curfew rules, and our full child protection policy.
