We have a large host database
of host families to choose from, the majority of which have
been with us at least 8 years. Staying in an Irish family
is the ideal way to practise your English and to experience
daily life and culture in Ireland.
We carefully grade and select each of our host families by
visiting the home and interviewing the family in person.
- Many of our families are situated within walking distance
of our learning centres. Those which are not within walking
distance are situated on direct bus routes to and from
the centres. All families are situated close to city centre
bus
or tram routes.
- Our families offer single-room accommodation
to our adult students. From June to September students
under 30 years
of age may be required to share a twin room.
- Accommodation
for adults is offered on a half-board basis and includes
breakfast and dinner. From Monday to Friday
students in Palmerston Park can purchase lunch in the
school canteen or in shops/delicatessens near the school.
On Saturday
and Sunday lunch is provided by the host family.
- Junior students
under 18 share a room & accommodation
is provided on a full-board basis. Full board includes: Breakfast,
packed lunch & dinner.
- For students who require accommodation
in a host family over the Christmas period, please contact
the Institute directly
for full details, as a supplement applies.
- We can only guarantee
accommodation for students who are attending a course
at our institute.
If you would like to stay in a warm and friendly environment
we would highly recommend family accommodation. This
is also the most economical accommodation option.
Please contact the institute
directly for more information on this accommodation
option.
