Category: Ireland Irish High School

Overview

Private boarding schools in Ireland often accept both day students and boarders. There are a variety of boarding options, from 5 day, to 12 day and 7 day boarding. Students will live with a host family during school closures.

Private boarding schools have an excellent reputation and the majority of graduates will progress on to top level university courses, either in Ireland, the UK or universities around the world.

Students will follow a rigorous weekly academic schedule and will spend the majority of their free time engaging with sport or other extra-curricular activities.
