High School Accommodations    

 

 


 

The Irish Way utilizes facilities and accommodations of three different campuses in Ireland. From the coastal feel of Newtown School in Waterford, to the lively city living at King’s Hospital in Dublin, and the cobblestone streets found around Gort na Coiribe in Galway, students will be immersed in the historic culture and rich academics of Ireland.

While all of the campuses and boarding facilities encourage peer-to-peer interaction through communal living, each differs from the other, offering unique characteristics and highlights throughout their environment and surroundings. Dormitory living in Ireland will be fun and exciting, but different from what students may experience in the US. Dorms are efficient and functional. Boys and girls will always be assigned to different dormitories.
 

 

  Newtown School-Waterford, Ireland
At Newtown School, students will be assigned to rooms that sleep up to five. The girl’s dorm has shared bathrooms and showers within the building, while the boy’s dorm has en suite bathrooms.
