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 enrollment.

All students must have insurance coverage (health and third-party liability), irrespective of their chosen accommodation option. For studio accommodation, students must take out insurance policies for the full duration of their rental period, covering any and all risks associated with property rental and in accordance 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.
• Between 1 and 2 weeks prior to the beginning of your stay: 50% of the cost is retained.

Studio

Accommodation reserved for long stays. Rent in full is to be paid alongside the membership fee. A deposit is also requested, equivalent to one month’s rent. This deposit will be returned in full on the final day, subject to the integrity of the 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.
