“Transitioning from the UK A-Level system to the Irish Leaving Certificate program has been such a positive experience. In the UK, focusing on just three subjects meant long, intense double periods that made the school day feel endless. Here, studying up to eight subjects makes the timetable so much more diverse and engaging. I especially love the half day on Wednesdays—it’s the perfect opportunity to play sports, participate in extracurricular activities, and spend quality downtime with other students.

Boarding life has been a pleasant surprise. The food is great, the structure is balanced with plenty of choices, and sharing a room has helped me build strong friendships. The level of pastoral care here is amazing—all the staff are genuinely invested in our well-being, which makes you feel so supported. Study groups with other students have also made preparing for exams enjoyable, and I feel I’ll be much better prepared for university thanks to the breadth of the curriculum and the skills I’m developing.

Growing up in the UK, I only connected with my Irish roots during holidays, but living here has brought me closer to my heritage. Surprisingly, my trips back to London are quick and convenient—Dublin Airport is just 20 minutes away, and flights are under an hour. It’s easier than some of my classmates traveling to Irish towns! The King’s Hospital School has truly given me a well-rounded, fulfilling experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything.”
