A true win-win situation, everyone benefits from our practice of hosting international students in Irish families.
The programme participants – mostly students and young graduates – enjoy the opportunity to immerse themselves in our culture and improve their English language skills.
Our host families - many of whom have worked with us since we started in business - tell us that they find hosting international students very rewarding, as their whole family learns about different cultures and customs. Many say they rediscover their own culture, history and surroundings as they explain or introduce them to a fresh and appreciative audience.
In many instances, the host family gains a friend for life, as the young people they hosted appreciated and enjoyed the experience so much that they keep in contact.
We also provide a reliable service to our host families, with a 24/7 helpline, ongoing support from our Dublin city centre office, and prompt payment of competitive rates.
We carefully match our host families with our programme participants, so that everyone gets maximum benefit and enjoyment from the experience.
