Belvedere College has extensive sports and social-space facilities, ensuring that beween studying and excursions, students are sure to have plenty to do on premises.

Our Dublin Central location is on the edge of Dublin's city centre. This provides easy access to both the capital's commercial and tourist attractions as well as landmarks in the quieter outer area of the city. 

The security system includes guards to restrict access to the building, ensuring all students can feel safe while they stay with us 

Accommodation

Over the years, we have built strong relationships with our homestay hosts, many of whom have been welcoming our students for more
than 10 years. Often students return to the same host family for two
or three years in a row and form strong relationships with their “Irish
family” during the rest of the year.

All host families are located in residential areas around city centre, approximately 45-55min from the school by public transport.  All our host families live within walking distance of bus stops or train stations with direct access to the city centre. 

Families provide full-board accommodation - breakfast, packed lunch and dinner each day. Each week bedding is changed, laundry wash is provided as well as cleaning.

*There is a very limited number of host families who have single rooms. If
a student particularly wants a single room, it is best to tell us about this as
soon as possible and we will do our very best to accommodate them, but spaces are very limited.

What to pack
Some warm clothing (for colder days and nights) 

A waterproof jacket (for rainy days)

Comfortable shoes (for walking tours)

An adaptor (Europe to UK/Ireland) - for all their electronic/charging needs

A towel

Students at our Dublin Central Summer Centre will be taking part in an engaging programme of both daytime and evening activities. There will also be one full-day and two half-day excursions per week to various locations. These excursions enable students to explore and experience the Irish culture on a greater scale. We encourage students to practise their English by talking to the new friends they have made on the programme as well as staff and people they meet on their travels.
