Students can choose between full-board (3 meals a day) in a hostfamily which has been carefully selected by ESL or full-board accommodation in a residence.

Host families

There’s no doubt that students who choose to live with a French-speaking family assimilate the language much more rapidly. Daily contact with the family enables you to practice the language constantly, as well as to explore the mentality, expressions and customs of the French-speaking Swiss people in a pleasant and friendly setting. Friendships are often forged, and many students keep in touch with their host families long after their stay has ended.

ESL chooses their host families with great care, visits them regularly and knows them all. What’s more, because ESL believe that your accommodation is an extremely important part of your stay, they have a homestay coordinator who maintains regular contact with the host families.

Please note that transportation from the student's accommodation to the school is not included in the course fees.
