When School Doesn’t Feel Right: Helping Your Child Find Their Place

We know that children learn best when they feel safe, happy, and supported. We also understand the importance of providing state-of-the-art settings that inspire and challenge our learners.

Our students have big ambitions. And whether it’s earning a place at Oxford, embarking on a career in chemical engineering, or pursuing a passion for the visual arts, our role, at NAIS Dublin, is to help them get exactly where they want to go. 

As we look ahead to the 2025 academic year, we’re thrilled to share our ambitious plans to enhance our campus and enrich the learning experience for every student.

When it comes to finding the right school, there are countless data sources to explore. You can pore over the school’s test scores and university destinations, websites, and social media in search of signs that this could be the place. 

But some soul-searching is also needed into your own aspirations. What is it, precisely, that you want for your child, beyond vague aims of them being “happy and successful”? It’s a daunting question, and requires reflection around your ideas about learning, community and perhaps even the nature of a meaningful life.
