homestay Accommodation
For students who join the Young Adult Programme at Ih Dublin, accommodation is offered with carefully chosen host families. All of our families are visited to assess their suitability to host our students and all are provided with guidelines detailing their obligations and responsibilities to the young people in their care. The majority of our host families are parents themselves and many still have young children and teenagers living at home.
Self-catering Accommodation
our Self-catering Programme at our city centre school uses a combination of apartments located in the heart of Dublin’s city centre. Studio apartment accommodation is also available.
our young adult programme in Dublin’s city centre is located on one of Dublin’s most fashionable streets. Dublin is the capital city of Ireland and is now one of europe’s vibrant leading cities for young people to live, study and work. Trinity college lies in the heart of the city and as one of the leading universities has inspired writers, musi-cians, poets, artists and scientists. It was these Dublin streets where acts such as u2, The corrs and many traditional, classical and jazz artists began their careers. Likewise many artists display their produce in the many organised outdoor and indoor exhibi-tions throughout the year.
