International Network
Rosemont offers a strong programme for international students, and as part of an international network of schools with similiar foundations, Rosemont can draw on our schools abroad as partners in a similar approach to education, and resources.
International students
Rosemont’s international programme possesses a strong, worldwide reputation for maintaining high academic standards for students from abroad, while welcoming them fully into the school community.
Highly-organised and carefully developed through decades of experience hosting international students, the programme attracts students from around the world.
Rosemont’s structured international programme ensures that foreign students make progress in becoming fluent in English and encourages them to be active and involved in the Rosemont community.

Our international network
A strong two-way tradition
The entire Rosemont community enjoys a broad educational experience because of our international programme. International students, Irish students and Rosemont teachers enjoy mutual benefits. In welcoming students from abroad and working with them to achieve their academic and personal goals, Rosemont also seeks educational contributions from international students.
Rosemont’s local students draw on the experiences of our international students, with foreign students being encouraged to take on leadership roles, and make their own unique contribution to lessons and modules (e.g. language, history, art, and cookery).
Maintaining academic challenge
While international students are away from home it is important that they continue to develop academically while they are here. Our carefully-crafted approach integrates international students into Rosemont’s own academic programme, providing measured academic challenge, stimulation and opportunity to gain fluency in English. Our aim is that international students enjoy solid academic results while adhering to high standards.

An active international student community
Students coming from abroad want to make the most of their time here, and Rosemont provides them with opportunities to stay active and engaged while they are in Ireland.
International students take part in our extra-curricular programme, joining the school choir, taking part in after-school study, and attending hockey practices. They participate in the school’s sports programme, and experience Dublin through field-trips and events. For example: early in the year the programme organisers plan a literary tour of literary Dublin, introducing students to some of Ireland’s quintessential poets and writers (Wilde, Swift, Yeats).
Where do our students come from?
Over the years Rosemont has cultivated relationships with educational partners across the world, making the school a popular choice for foreign students. We host students from all over the globe including: Spain, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Japan, China, Mexico, Chile, and Peru.
Living arrangements for foreign students
Students are hosted with families whose daughters are attending the school, or who are linked to the school. The partnership with the families ensures that the experience is an enriching one for both families and students. International students take part in the family plans and activities.
Transport
Many of Rosemont’s international students take Rosemont’s private bus service to and from school daily.
What are parents saying?
“[Our children] both had a really exciting two years, and the memory of their stay in Ireland will remain with them forever. As parents, we are very proud of the experience that they have had and we know that it has been very beneficial for them in terms of their academic studies, linguistically with regards to their English, and most importantly having lived in another country-making new friends and getting to know another culture and set of customs. In this we are convinced that they both adapted very quickly to their new environment-they have always been aware of the need to make the most of the experience, which, without a doubt, has helped them to become better people-especially at this difficult age."
- Carmen Preckler and Enrique Salat.
“The Bennett family (Rosemont parents) welcomed Marta and treated her like one of their own daughters-they introduced her into their circle of friends and looked after her like only a mother could. We want to thank them, from here, for all the little things that they did for her.”
- Josep Aragonés and Eulalia Anglada

National Gallery of Ireland
On Friday 27th November after lunch we went to the National Gallery of Ireland with Ms Fannin. First we saw some pictures of the Irish painter Yeats. She explained a bit of his life to us and then she explained his different techniques. She said that at the beginning he was more realistic and he ended in a more abstract way but you can always see what he painted. After we went to the temporary exhibition of Edvard Munch which is going to stay in the Gallery until the 6th of December. There were lithographies of his most famous pictures like "The Scream" or "Death in the sick room". She also explained how his personal life influenced his works. Finally we looked at a very famous picture of Caravaggio. I really liked this visit and I think we learnt a lot and now we have new ideas to use in art.

CARLINGFORD 2009!
On Monday 12th October we took a bus and we went to Carlingford Adventure Centre. We stayed there for four days doing all kinds of sports. When we arrived we had lunch and we went to an activity where we had to climb, and then for the night activity we went for a walk in the forest. On the second day we had to build our own raft and make our flag! We were divided into two groups and we had to race against the others. The afternoon activity was orienteering and we had to go to the forest in groups of three people and try to find the way to return home. We had to look for rocks with a letter and a number and we had to copy them. The night activity was to go to the forest again for a night walk - we walked for a short distance blindfolded and we couldn't see anything. The third day we did some activities with ropes and climbing. The afternoon activity was canoeing! The night activity was a quiz and they asked us about films, science, music.... The fourth and last day we did rock climbing; this is the activity I liked the most! I enjoyed it all so much! :)
