High School in Ireland
Why Ireland?
Ireland, often referred to as “The Land of Saints and Scholars”, has a long and distinguished tradition in educational excellence which continues to the present day. In recent years the Irish Government has invested in the internationalisation of our education system and Ireland has become an increasingly popular destination for overseas students. The cost of education in Ireland is relatively low, particularly in the private sector which is substantially cheaper than in many other English-speaking countries. Ireland is now renowned as a location where students receive a high quality education at a competitive price and in a very friendly and safe environment.
Why ISI?
Since launching our High School Programme in 2001 our aim has always been to provide the highest level of guardianship and care for our students. In 2016, we became a founding member of the Association of Guardianship Providers in Ireland (AGPI), because we believe very strongly that study abroad programmes should only be operated by professional and regulated organisations.
