Who are we

Godsil Education provides an independent School Placement
and Education Guardianship Service

We support international students attending schools and universities in Ireland

Our service is unique because we are also educators – we have extensive experience, a commitment to safeguarding and a reputation for excellence.

Experience

We have over 40 years experience of the Irish education system - as teachers, leaders and mentors - and understand what is necessary to ensure a positive academic experience for our international students.

Excellence

We have excellent relations with the Principals and leadership teams within schools and with our host families. Every student in our care benefits from the best of care and individual attention from all the partners involved in their experience in Ireland.

Safeguarding

Our Guardianship service ensures your child is in safe hands from the moment they arrive in Ireland until the moment they leave. Our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the young people we work with is paramount.
