ISI’s High School programme was launched in 2001 and since then we have aimed to provide the highest level of care and guardianship to our students. We have won the prestigious Study Travel English Language School Europe Award three times, in 2014, 2016 and 2018. ISI became a founding member of the Association of Guardianship Providers in Ireland (AGPI) in 2016 – indicative of our determination to uphold the very highest standards of student guardianship.

Coordinators are always available to talk to about problems or tips. This agency organises many things to get the students more into the experience, for example, afternoon classes where you have the possibility to get to know more people and other students; the weekly newsletter is also another way to share with everyone your adventures and discover places to visit. The coordinator will follow your experience with steady videocalls each month, hoping everything is going good during the time in Ireland. Generally, it is a good agency where you don’t need to be shy to ask or talk

I had a really good time in Ireland and enjoyed it nearly every second. I got to know so many new kind and funny people and became friends with them. Also at school I felt very comfortable and felt like everybody is very open and kind. During my time in Ireland I got more confident in speaking English but also in so many other things. Now I’m very open to new people and I dare to talk to people I don’t know. Now I’m more independent because when you’re alone in a country you don’t know, you have to make on your own that things work. I learned so much and it was a great experience. For me it was also good that ISIoffered an English class because there, of course, I learned English but I also got to know new people and the excursion to the giants Causeaway and northern Ireland was just a great day.
