Founded in 2001, for more than 20 years ISI Dublin has been offering the highest quality educational programmes to overseas students.

Our programmes are approved for various European funding including Bildungsurlaub and Erasmus Plus. Operating a quality high school programme for almost 20 years has led us to being a founding member of AGPI. ISI Dublin is also the proud winner of the Study Travel Star English Language School Europe Award a total of four times, in 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020/21, and has been nominated for the award every year since 2013.

We love what we do at ISI and we always try to place our students at the centre of all our efforts.
