🏫 Ireland’s Largest School Network: Why More Choice Means Better Placements

More Schools = More Opportunities


Every student is different. Some thrive in big city schools with strong academic traditions. Others feel most at home in small rural communities or boarding schools with a strong sense of structure. That’s why the range of school options really matters when choosing a study abroad provider.


At High Schools International (HSI), we’re proud to offer access to Ireland’s largest network of secondary schools. This means we can tailor placements that truly suit each student - not just place them where there’s space.


What Makes HSI’s Network Unique?


We work with a wide variety of over 150 schools across the country, including:


🏙️ Urban and Rural Locations


From the heart of Dublin to the quiet charm of County Clare, we offer placements in cities, towns, and countryside settings - so students and families can find the environment that suits them best.


🏫 Day and Boarding Schools


Some families prefer the independence and routine of boarding schools, while others love the cultural immersion of living with a host family. HSI works with both day and boarding schools, giving students true flexibility.


🎨 Academic, Creative, and Vocational Programmes


Our partner schools offer a wide range of subject options. Whether your student is into sciences, business, music, sports, or technology, we can help find a school that supports their passions.


⏱️ Fast Matches, Even at the Last Minute


Because of our strong school relationships and broad network, we can place students quickly - even as the school year approaches. In most cases, we provide a school shortlist within 24–48 hours.


Why It Matters for Families and Partners


✅ More Choice


A broader network means you’re not limited to just a few schools. You can explore the full range and choose what works best for the student’s academic needs, personality, and long-term goals.


✅ More Flexibility


Late application? Special subject interest? Looking for a coastal town or a school with strong athletics? Our range means we’re more likely to find a school that checks all the boxes.


✅ More Chances to Say “Yes”


Other providers may run out of places by summer. But with HSI’s network, we’re still able to offer high-quality placements for September - even in July or August.
