Erasmus in Ireland for a 13-year-old middle schooler

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there, Your message intrigues me: the middle school is offering an Erasmus program but isn’t handling the host school or host family? So, what *are* they taking care of, exactly?

My daughter did a year-long Erasmus (post-high school) in Mexico, and her school handled absolutely everything!! Otherwise, how can you send your child with complete confidence?

Yep, that’s exactly the issue. The more we do for them, the better it seems—at least for them!
