FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Do you offer after school care?
    Yes! After school care is available from 3.30pm to 6.00pm for Early Years and Primary students. Please note that there is a charge for this service. 

  • As a parent, how can I get involved in the school community?
    Our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is elected every school year and serves as a link between our parents and the school. The PTA is instrumental in welcoming new families and helping them settle into life in Dublin and at our school. 
  • Are school lunches included in tuition fees?
    School lunches are included in tuition fees for Early Years students in KG3 and KG4. Other students are welcome to purchase freshly prepared lunches in our Lunchbox with a prepaid catering card.

Each bus has a Bus Monitor who supervises students and ensures they’re collected and dropped off at their designated bus stops.

    One of NAIS Dublin’s key strengths is our ability to integrate students whose mother tongue is not English. We ensure they receive the required attention to become fluent.
