WHY DO WE RECOMMEND THESE SCHOOLS IN IRELAND FOR SPANISH STUDENTS?
Assessment of our students
All our students who have studied in these centers have rated their academic year positively, regardless of the school year studied, the subjects taken, the accommodation during their stay and the marks obtained.
Variety of subjects
These schools present a multitude of core and optional subjects that are especially interesting for secondary school students since they are not limited to the usual subjects, adapting to recent times and the most current labor trends.
School / Faculty Prestige
Some of the schools we recommend have a storied track record that praises their reputation not just in Ireland but internationally. Other schools on our list are more modern or smaller in size so they are less known a priori. All of them have shown to have a highly qualified teacher, involved in the academic and personal development of their students.
Local Coordinators
The figure of the local coordinator is essential so that the stay of foreign students is completely satisfactory. The task of these local coordinators is to select the host families interested in participating in the program, assign the families to the participating students, manage the enrollment at the school and monitor the performance of our students weekly during their stay. The local coordinators of these particular schools have shown outstanding treatment towards our students in all these respects.
Extra school activities available
Each school offers a selection of extracurricular activities that, again, are very interesting and innovative for Spanish students: innovation club, united nations, theater, programming, entrepreneurship, robotics, school newspaper …
sports
In addition to genuine Gaelic football, all schools offer very interesting sports activities depending on the sports facilities available: swimming, hurling (very similar to lacrosse), table tennis, basketball, football, golf, swimming, athletics …
