TESTIMONIALS
“Living and studying Ireland was an unforgettable experience for me. When I was coming to
visit my new home in Dublin I was kind of scared. I had no idea what kind of people I was
about to meet. I remember that I definitely made a good first impression and got compliment-
ed with regard to my level of English. I enjoyed meeting my host parents. They were very
positive and open to me which helped me settle in. Sometime after I started to feel like home.
I never had trouble in communicating with my host parents which made my stay even better.
I was always straightforward with them and they were as well. Emma and Mark always cared
for me and I really felt like I was a part of their family. They looked after me If I had struggles in
school and helped me to sort out my problems. Emma was always in direct contact with my
mother! She also aided my family in preparing the necessary documents for Visa which was
very nice. Overall, I enjoyed my stay with this family very much! I miss them a lot. As of today, I
am very grateful that they were my parents! I know that I am always welcomed in their house.
I will never forget about everything that they gave me and will always remember those days!”

Vlad, Russia – Sutton Park School
“IELA was the agency chosen for our son to study 6th year and
Leaving Certificate in Ireland, and it was a total success. High profes-
sional standards of management and kindness shown during the
stay, a perfect combination. Included in its service all formalities
necessary to start the school and the airport transfer in all his trips. A
very close to the school hosting and a high-quality house in a quiet
residential area made our son feel like home, less than half an hour
from the centre of Dublin by bus. They attend the school appoint-
ments, which make easier the decisions to taking with the subjects
related to leaving cert. It has been wonderful to have Emer and
Nicky to our side. They are more than an agency. They are two
involved women getting everything working in a more manageable
way.”

   professors, from some of the most prestigious Universities in the
          world, as they congregate to give lectures. The town has a
  population of about 50,000 people, and is located three thousand
      feet above sea level. It is a haven for “Madrileños” who seek to
 escape the hot summer hear of the city, in favour of the tranquility
       and refreshing climate that San Lorenzo de El Escorial offers.

                                                        Where?
     El Escorial is a beautiful village just 45 mins outside of Madrid.
