Host Family — available all year
Host Family accommodation is the standard option included in the basic School Group package. Homes are carefully selected and regularly checked, giving students the opportunity to experience everyday life in Dublin while remaining part of an organised group programme.
Students stay in twin, triple or quadruple rooms and receive full board: breakfast, a packed lunch and dinner. Current 2027 commute guidance is approximately 40–70 minutes door-to-door to the school.
Communication with the host family is an important part of the experience. Students are encouraged to respect household routines, ask questions and speak with their Group Leader or the ISI accommodation team if they need support.
