"Studying at SEK Dublin is so much more than just going to school. It’s a life experience. We provide our students with all kinds of opportunities -- ones that allow them to develop their characters, hobbies, and passions. They have experiences that let them explore the world beyond the classroom."

"Every day in the school you see collaboration. Students working together in pairs, in groups, sharing ideas, posing ideas, pooling their talents. The classroom itself is designed to facilitate this. We have action in the school not just theory. What’s theoretical becomes action."

Miryam Avis Pérez
"The school provides a sound environment where students can develop both their social and academic skills. It is surrounded by nature which provides beautiful spots for teaching or reading outdoors. The international nature of both teachers and students is a reflection of the IB philosophy: international-mindedness, which ultimately takes our students beyond academic success."
Jennifer Deathe
"SEK Dublin gives teachers and students the opportunity to expand their learning beyond the confines of the classroom.
Through our global and inclusive approach, students develop lifelong skills through meaningful hands-on experiences."
Emilio García
"As a former SEK student and now as a teacher at SEK, I can give a first-hand, heartfelt testimony of the reliability of this educational group. I have worked with it in-depth and fully trust and understand the difference in quality SEK-Dublin provides."
Nicole Gubbins
"SEK Dublin is more like a community than a school. The students are a dynamic, close-knit group, and they always have each other's best interests at heart. Teachers provide a rigorous curriculum, but there is also plenty of time for fun and laughter. The idyllic landscape surrounding the school provides a beautiful backdrop for all to enjoy."

"We have learnt that the system used by
the SEK is special and different from
others, this is what makes our school
unique. All its techniques, methods and
resources have contributed a great deal
to the way we are and how we work."
Mary Jones
"I like the small class sizes, and the teachers give us a lot of attention and support!"

Scott and Arpana Pandey
"The multiculturalism of SEK-Dublin International School is the best feature. The school is a small community and every child, no matter which year they are in, can be good friends and teachers mentor them well. Our sons have grown leaps and bounds both academically and socially. I highly recommend this school to any parent who wants their children to be true global citizens."
Yafit and Oren Rossen
"Our 3 boys are attending SEK Dublin this year. We had an experience with 3 other international schools worldwide and SEK Dublin is by far the best one. Our kids are showing great progress and in such a short time. Their level of writing essays, presentation, and analysing among many other skills has improved dramatically. We couldn't recommend this school more highly!"
Javier Delgado
1) "SEK-Dublin provides a really nice family atmosphere for the children. They get to know each other, and all the staff, teachers, cleaners, kitchen staff, driver, etc. make a really comfortable place for children to attend. SEK-Dublin gets the best from the children, making then participate, being involved in projects, and developing their own way of thinking.
It is the second year for our kid, and he is really happy. A really enriching and worthy experience for life."
Leslie John
"Classes are very small and the opportunities the children have are amazing. Their exposure to technology, the cultural opportunity of getting to know children from another country have been great. I honestly cannot express how grateful we are that we found SEK Dublin."
