Summary details of hosting for our English class and activities Summer programs:

• The summer program duration can be two or three weeks.

• He or she will be attending our English classes, in either our Language Academy or our summer school depending on the program and location. 
• You would normally be required to bring your student to and from the school or camp. (In estates or similar, car-pooling is always a great idea)
• Give your guest a packed lunch for school and trips etc. as you would one of your own.

Summary details of hosting for our Work Placement or Erasmus+ student:

• Your guest, as part of their studies, has chosen Ireland to complete their work experience.
• Their work placement can be anything from Nursing or Childcare to I.T. or Administration for example. We will as much as possible try to accommodate the students as close to their workplace as possible.
• The program duration can range from 30 to 90 days depending upon the requirements of the course.
• More than one student is permitted per host family, however, each must have their own private bedroom.
• The age range is from 16 up to adult, so they would generally have more independence than our Junior students, although it is wirth noting that if under 18 they are legally minors.
• They would be responsible for getting to and from their place of work.
• Your guest may or may not be attending our Academy for additional English classes.
• They may or may not have cultural excursions during the weekends.
