Accommodation assistance can only be provided after receipt of course fee payment. The École Suisse Internationale will provide all relevant details regarding accommodation around 2 weeks prior to course commencement, or later in the case of late enrolment.
All students must have insurance coverage (health and third-party liability), irrespective of their chosen accommodation option. For studio apartments, students must take out insurance covering rental risks for the duration of the rental period that complies with French law. All students must be able to provide proof of insurance upon request.
Homestay
Payment must be made alongside the membership fee and paid in full at least 6 weeks before the beginning of the stay. The half-board option is for a minimum of 6 nights. If the guest has begun their lodging, the cost of accommodation is due in full. If the guest arrives late or leaves early, the cost of accommodation is due in full. Any additional services that were not rendered during the guest’s absence (meals) will not be reimbursed.
In the event of cancellation on the part of the guest:
- Less than 1 week prior to the beginning of your stay: 100% of the cost is retained.
- At least 15 days prior to the beginning of your stay: 50% of the cost is retained.

This deposit will be returned in full on the final day, subject to the integrity of the exit inventory (or with a 4-week notice). Insurance policies covering any and all risks associated with property rental must be taken out for the full duration of the rental period and in accordance with French law. Our Parisian school office is at your disposal to provide advice regarding valid insurance options in France.
