All other transfers will be charged for at a rate of \u20ac120 return. Child protection law requires an adult to meet all students under 18 on arrival in Ireland. Therefore, return transfers are compulsory for all students aged under the age of 18.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Programme orientation on arrival.<br \/>\nHigh school tuition fees in case of private schools or school contribution in case of state schools.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Single or twin, full board room in selected host families or bed and full board in a school dormitory.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">2 hours per week English classes at our English Club<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">ISI organised extra-curricular activities: Most of a student\u2019s after-school social life revolves around their own high school. However, each term we organise several social events, usually coinciding with a public holiday or celebration in which all students can join. For students outside of Dublin it may not be suitable to join these events which normally last only a few hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The programme fees do not include:<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Occasional school expenses: We have done our best to anticipate every school expense you will incur but occasionally schools will organise an event, excursion or project which is not included in our programme fees. The costs for these (between \u20ac20 and \u20ac50) will be requested by and should be paid directly to your high school. Failure to pay these expenses may result in the school withholding final reports and\/or services.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Midterm break social programme activities, i.e., day trip to the north of Ireland. (Optional).<br \/>\nHost family accommodation during 2-week Christmas break. Students must return home for the holidays.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">School books and uniform.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pocket money: Your parents should decide how much pocket money you require, taking all of your expenses into account. To help guide you:<br \/>\no A weekly child travel card for bus or rail will cost \u20ac10 to \u20ac15 \u2013 for all personal and school travel.<br \/>\no A cinema ticket for a student, costs about \u20ac9 o A meal in a fast-food restaurant like McDonalds costs about \u20ac8.50 o A coffee or tea in a caf\u00e9, costs about \u20ac3 o A sandwich in a shop, costs about \u20ac5<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additional airport transfers outside of official school holidays\/for a period of less than 7 days.<br \/>\nYou will be charged a supplementary fee of \u20ac20 for transfers for any flights that are booked to depart between the hours of 3am and 8.30am or booked to arrive between the hours of 10pm and 3am.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Private Schools regularly charge for services not included in their tuition fees or the programme fees we advertise. These include but are not limited to laundry and photocopying services, doctor\u2019s appointments, medication, books, and uniform items. They may also charge for extra English lessons where necessary. Any individual amounts over \u20ac100 will be notified in advance otherwise these will be deducted from ISI managed expense account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Payment of expenses not included in fees<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We operate a managed expense account service for all items not included in the programme fees.

If you carry a bag, make sure you always hold it tightly and never leave it unattended. Thieves also target cameras, mobile phones, etc. Do not carry too much cash, and if you must, put it into different, discreet pockets.<\/li>\n<li>Never walk around in the city centre alone at nighttime (after 8pm). If you must come to the city in the evening (for music lessons etc.), make sure you travel with a friend and stay together.<\/li>\n<li>Your host family must know where you are always after 6pm.

One member of staff will answer the phone, 24 hours a day.

If you are feeling unwell, please contact us at ISI or ask your host family to contact us. You can go to your local pharmacy\/chemist for general colds or upset stomachs. The chemist will assist you in getting medication. If you need to go to the doctor, the visit usually costs \u20ac50 &#8211; \u20ac65. Please contact ISI or your host family if you are feeling unwell so we can determine the next best step.<\/li>\n<li>You must ask permission if you wish to make a call on your host family\u2019s landline. However, you will have the use of Wi-Fi in the home so you should be able to use your own phone in most cases.<\/li>\n<li>You can shower every day either in the morning or evening time (you need to ask your host family about the rules).
