Educational Guardianship
Please review the Villiers School Guardianship Policy. For overseas parents/guardians with no prior connection to Ireland, and with no local guardian in place, a professional guardian agency is essential to assist with the general well-being of the student. All of our international students are required to have an Irish resident educational guardian while studying in Villiers. In effect, guardians act in loco parentis.
Please contact our Admissions & Communications Manager, Mrs. Susan Peña, by email admissions@villiers-school.com to recommend a local educational guardianship agency.
Health Insurance
Prospective students from within the EU are advised to apply for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) prior to them coming to Ireland. This insurance allows the holder to access health care services when travelling to another EU or EEA country. Further information can be found here.
Medical insurance for Non-EU international students is a student visa requirement.
