We operate a Year long programme that focuses on individual growth and academic development. To ensure a personalised and meaningful experience, we accept a maximum of 25 international students per year, allowing us to work closely with each student and offer opportunities not available in other schools.

Students also benefit from a dedicated international Student co-ordinator who looks after their social, personal and academic wellbeing. As well as our peer-led buddy programme, where each international student is paired with several Irish peers. This helps them integrate fully into their year group and the wider school community, ensuring they feel supported, connected, and confident from day one
