ISI Dublin - language school in Ireland

Description

Our Meetinghouse Lane school is located in a beautiful 18th-century stone warehouse, converted into a school in 2001. Its interior combines original stone walls and wooden floors with a sleek and modern design, decorated with inspirational art pieces and murals by local artists.

Our Parnell Square centre is housed in a beautiful redbrick Georgian building close to O’Connell Street and just 10 minutes walk from Meetinghouse Lane. The building combines large & ornate period rooms with modern furniture & artwork to create a wonderful learning space.

Founded in 2001, for more than 20 years ISI Dublin has been offering the highest quality educational programmes to overseas students. Recognised by ACELS, a service of Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) for English language education (ELE), ISI Dublin is also a member of Ireland’s premiere quality language school association MEI, as well as the world-renowned ALTO. 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. As a school we are known internationally for our innovative approach to teaching, our blended use of technology in the classroom, our focus on continuous professional development for our staff and teachers, as well as the beautiful interior design of our buildings. We love what we do at ISI and we always try to place our students at the centre of all our efforts.
