Operation and organization

Accommodation:

  • Five boarding houses welcome students, each with its own atmosphere and particularities.
  • The rooms are double, triple or quadruple, favoring socialization and mutual aid.
  • The common indoor and outdoor spaces encourage sharing and playing time. (e.g. swimming pool, tennis, fitness room, table football, billiards, football pitch, etc.)
  • A caring and qualified staff is present 24/7 to ensure the well-being of the students.
  • The sharing of boarding schools by gender and level is done according to the number of students and the specificities of each school year, so the distributions are subject to change from one year to the next.

  • Many cultural, sporting and leisure activities are offered to enrich the students’ experience.
