Boarding Houses
Boarding at Wesley College
The boarding houses Epworth and Embury are central to life at Wesley; students from all over Ireland and the world live here and contribute fully to life in the College. Boarders have a unique opportunity to experience a wide range of cultural diversity and form friendships that will last a life time.
The dedicated staff in the boarding houses ensure that the students are cared for in an environment where they feel safe, looked after and accepted. We believe that boarding should be a home away from home environment and are committed to providing a quality and personal service to students who live in our boarding houses.
The Wesley Boarding Experience
Wesley College is committed to small boarding numbers to allow for a high standard of attention and care to its students. Rooms for Senior accommodate 2/4 students. The College has just completed a refurbishment programme in the Junior Boys boarding dorms and now accommodates 3/4 students in each room. The Girls House will be upgraded to the same standard next summer 2008.
