HOST FAMILY
Irish families live in the suburbs of Dublin within a short bus or train journey of the school. All host families are inspected and carefully selected by a member of the Horner family. Irish host families deserve their reputation for being warm and welcoming. All clients are accommodated on a single room basis during the period January to June and October to December. In summer, single room is available on request at a supplementary fee. We never place two students of the same mother tongue together, unless requested. Accommodation is arranged on a part board basis i.e. breakfast and evening meal, with all meals provided at
the weekends. Internet access is available on request.

CITY RESIDENCES
We offer a number of city residences within walking distance of the school. In most cases students are accommodated on a single room basis and have their own private bathroom. They are mainly self catering options with a fully equipped kitchen and living room shared by all guests. Internet access is available in most cases.

CITY APARTMENTS
In some cases these apartments are just 2 minutes walk from the school. Studio, one and two bedroom apartments can be booked. All apartments are self contained. Internet access is available in the majority
of apartments.
