All our Host families live in the rural community of Inistioge within easy reach of all the amenities and services. We are confident that all are families will extend a warm welcome and a safe and happy stay to all our students. Living with a host family you will enjoy real Irish lifestyle and hospitality by being treated as a ‘member of the family’ during your whole stay. You will also have plenty of relaxed opportunities to communicate and continue to receive linguistic support during meal times and leisure time. We take great care selecting our host families. All families are

individually visited and interviewed to determine their suitability and continually monitored by our host family coordinator. All families have been safety checked through our Garda Legislation programme. We take into account the ages, gender of children in the family and place students in homes that provide the best fit with their desired experience for their age group, interests etc. Home stay certainly gives you plenty of opportunities to practise and be continuously learning in a warm, supportive and relaxed environment.
