“Roisin going to Ring was, for us, like our daughter being placed into the care of a family – a unique family of teachers, house-parents and other carers and guardians from a community steeped in the Irish language and tradition – people who have taught her not only a high standard of academic subjects, but have also taught her an appreciation for her heritage, made her native language her own, nurtured and developed her talents, and instilled basic life skills.”
