It will enable her to perfect her English in school through immersion. Your daughter will utilise her ever-advancing language skills while developing friendships and having fun!
Rosemont School is not a Boarding School, therefore it is required that all girls whose parents live overseas, irrespective of age, have a Guardian appointed for the duration of their enrolment. This person acts on behalf of the girl’s parents. Guardians are required to liaise with the student’s parents and the school to provide an additional level of support for the student while they are enrolled in Rosemont School.
A Guardian may be a family member, a Guardianship agency, or other responsible Irish-based adult authorised by the student’s parents.
Guardianship Agencies look after numerous aspects of your daughter’s stay in Ireland from host families, airport transfers, visas, additional trips, parent-teacher meetings, additional language support, Saturday activities, uniforms, and books along with 24/7 Guardianship and medical emergency support. We are happy to provide you with details of agencies we are partnered with.
