Classic High School Exchange Ireland North East (European students only) : Testimonials

"I made a lot of friends, learned the language efficiently and learned about great cultural differences, although the first 4 months if you struggle with the language it can be rather difficult. The program is a good way to integrated with other cultures. I would recommend to anyone who would be interested in taking the challenge.
Thank you for having this program and making one my dreams possible. I do not mind to give guidance to anyone else that may want to participate or to Nacel. Marcelo"

My knowledge of English was not sufficient so, with my father, I decided to study in Ireland. My feelings and expectations before departure from Slovakia were clear: to learn the language, get to know a new culture and learn how to be independent.……When I first met my host family, I was properly nervous...Today, after five months with them I have to say that a better host family I could not even ask for…”

“Hi, My name is Luis, I am 18 years old. I`m from Portugal and right now I am living in Killarney, Ireland! I came one year to Killarney to learn English in order to have one more language and also because I wish to study in England next year! Since August, it has been a great experience to live in such a different culture and facing all the problems of living my normal days in a different language! Killarney is very beautiful and small town! After one month I was walking in the street saying hello to everyone because this town is like family. Everyone knows everyone! Normally in Ireland is raining but when you get a little bit of a shiny day It is one of the most beautiful places to be! We have the National Park, mountains and waterfalls to visit! There is a lot of footpath through the mountains with unbelievable landscapes! In my school the teachers are very nice and they understand quickly that you a foreign student offering help if you want! There is a lot of sports to do and also a big gym where everyone goes to spend some time swimming or in the Jacuzzi after a cold day in Ireland! I am enjoying a lot, verynice people interested in make this a great experience for you, not only for the English but also to have Fun! “ 

Luis, from Portugal

“Thinking about my experience in Ireland I can spend few words describing it as a very nice trip that changed my life. That’s cause I spent six months far away from my house learning more about a new country and a new culture. My host family was very nice and friendly, they helped me every time and in every situation and I never felt alone. The school was good too and all the friends th at I made were lovely.” Lorenzo, form Italy

"My daughter attended to the High School Program in Monagham in Ireland for her 10th grade year. She was 15.  Erin has wanted to be an exchange student since she was little and we decided this was the best year, before she got too swamped with College readiness. The school is relatively small and is able to provide more personalized attention.  Erin has done well is all of her classes.  She had some difficulty in adjusting to the grading scale which tends to make A’s very difficult to obtain.  But I think the challenge has done her well. She has really enjoyed getting to travel around Ireland and spend time with the other exchange students. Overall, we have been very pleased with the program and with the support from Nacel.  Nacel checks in with Erin, the school and me to insure things are going smoothly" Keli R. from The USA
