That experience helps schools plan a programme with a team that understands both education and the practical realities of bringing a group abroad.<\/p>\n<h2>Accredited and recognised<\/h2>\n<p>Current ISI institutional positioning includes <strong>Eaquals accreditation<\/strong> and recognition by <strong>ACELS<\/strong>, a service of Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI), for English language teaching. Eaquals inspected ISI Dublin in 2024 and the school met the standards required for accreditation.<\/p>\n<h2>A four-time StudyTravel Star Award winner<\/h2>\n<p>ISI Dublin has won the StudyTravel Star English Language School Europe Award four times: <strong>2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020\/21<\/strong>. The award is an institutional reputation point and should be understood as recognition of the school rather than a guarantee of a particular individual outcome.<\/p>\n<h2>Safeguarding and student welfare<\/h2>\n<p>School Group materials emphasise child protection, student welfare and personal safety. Current ISI positioning includes child-protection systems, trained and vetted staff where applicable, inspected and Garda-vetted host families, structured welfare support and 24\/7 emergency assistance for the group programme.<\/p>\n<p>This means support is available beyond the classroom while avoiding the inaccurate suggestion that every student is under continuous 24\/7 physical supervision.<\/p>\n<h2>Experienced School Group support<\/h2>\n<p>ISI has specialist experience operating School Group and Mini-stay programmes. Schools, teachers, group organisers and educational partners can work with the team to coordinate dates, tuition, accommodation, transfers, activities and group-specific requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>A complete group package<\/h2>\n<p>The standard programme brings English tuition, course materials, full-board homestay accommodation, return airport transfers, ISI-led Dublin activities, a weekend walking tour, a free group leader entitlement and certificates into one organised package.<\/p>\n<h2>100% customisable<\/h2>\n<p>Programmes can be tailored around dates, number and ages of students, accommodation, class schedule, meals, local transport, airport transfers, activities, excursions and other specific requirements. Non-standard elements remain subject to confirmation.<\/p>\n<h2>Learning beyond the classroom<\/h2>\n<p>School Group programmes can combine classroom learning with Dublin\u2019s culture, history and real-life environment. Students can use English in practical situations, work collaboratively and connect lesson topics with activities outside the school.<\/p>\n<h2>Central Dublin<\/h2>\n<p>Meetinghouse Lane is the year-round School Group base in central Dublin, while Belvedere College is the published summer campus from 30 June to 4 August 2027. Central locations make it easier to connect lessons with cultural activities around the city.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Why ISI Dublin for School Groups?
