Host Family

Shannon Academy has worked with Host families in Athlone for many years and it has been a delightful experience. Becoming a Host family is a commitment but a beneficial one both economically and culturally. Many of our host families build long lasting relationships with students in their care. You provide the ‘Céad Míle Fáilte’ and we provide you with 24 hour support when it comes to caring for our students in your home.
