For Parents & Guardians
 

We recognize the confidence that it takes for parents to entrust their children to us. While on the Irish Way, we treat each student with as much care as if they were our own. With the Irish Way, you are assured:

Safety - The most important of our Program is the safety and well-being of each student. Careful attention is paid to dietary and medical needs. With in-country directors and two to three adult leaders, our staff ensures that students receive proper care and supervision. Specific rules and regulations are in place to ensure the protection of each student. Parents and students are required to agree to and sign these rules and regulations prior to acceptance into the program.

Experience - Now in our 35th year, we have been responsible for the safety and well being of over 4000 students. Our staff is highly qualified and carefully chosen to work with your sons and daughters. Our leaders are chosen for: experience working with students, organization, knowledge of the Irish culture, and academic excellence.

Communication - We appreciate your entrusting us with your student's care, and recognize the need for open lines of communication. Throughout the program an Irish Way Representative is on call 24/7 to respond to any urgent needs or requests. Students are also encouraged to post daily to the Irish Way blog so parents can follow their experiences.


 

What Parents Are Saying

"My daughter had the time of her life on the 2006 Irish Way trip. I wanted to tell you firsthand how pleased we are as parents to hear of all the wonderful things that they were able to see and do. We couldn’t have planned a more successful trip and it was exactly what we had hoped for. I have to say that the personal growth she has gained from this is remarkable!"
