Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Dublin. These homes are often between 15 - 30 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing

Ask a questionWe would not be able to accept the 5 year old child as the Play with English course starts from 7 years old. Also, 7 to 11 years olds attending the Play with English course must travel with their parents. Parents or guardians are responsible for the children of this age outside of the lessons and activities. There is no registration fee applying to the course Play with English.
We do not offer the course without activities for the junior programs.
We could arrange a part time and then full time work placement in different companies but the student will have to be flexible in terms of the working field. She would not need to take more lessons in between the 2 work placements but she would have to pay a certain amount as a total for the 2 work placements.
Regarding the work experience placement, students need to have a minimum level of intermediate (B1).
Regarding the length of work placement, after doing 4 weeks course, the minimum would be 4 weeks. If they are asking for a specific work placement, we would do our best to find the area they are interested in, though it would depend on their English level and previous work experience.
Regarding the Play with English course, we would not be able to accept 6 year old students unless she is turning 7 in 2015.The elementary level would mean that they need to know a little bit of English (been introduced to English) in order to start the course.
Yes please send me the birthdates of the student. Also, the grandmother will have to be in charge of the child after the day at school (course + activities).
Yes the age of the student is fine as she will be 7 when starting the course. I have had a look at the price and it is correct for 2 weeks. There is no registration fee on our junior programs.
I have checked the possibilities for them to stay in host family with private bathroom in twin room. As the Play with English course starts on the 6th July, they would have to arrive on the 5th July. We do have a very nice host family who could offer them to stay in a twin room with private bathroom. The grand-mother will have to take a course so we can offer this accommodation type.
The student choosing no accommodation, will be under his parents’ responsibility after the lessons and activities. Parents will have to be bring and pick up the student at the centre every day. If the student is interested in staying at NCI including accommodation and come on his own, we can welcome him to stay in a single ensuite room at our NCI residence. The package will be the one including accommodation. If the student is interested to come to Dublin to participate to our junior summer centre and stay with a host family, he can join our South Dublin summer centre including accommodation.
