Weekend and Holiday trips

• Students may wish to travel in or outside of France during the Academic Programme.

• Parents must be aware that students travelling within the country or across the borders do so at their own risks and in any case Education en France will require written parental consent and release prior to the student’s trip.

• Such trips must be planned only during the official school holidays or Saturdays/Sundays.

• All details about the student’s trip must be sent in to Education en France (dates, mean of transportation, place of stay, destination, people travelling with…) along with the Parental Permission and Release form at least one week before the travel dates.

• Education en France will not give consent for trips back to the native country or with the natural parents if the student has been on the programme for less than 3 months.

• Students should consider obtaining the appropriate visas for countries they wish to travel to prior to arrival for the Academic Programme.

• Medical insurance may not apply for some specific sport activities, once the individual has left the country of their placement or returned to their home country.

• Arrangements for alternative coverage should also be made in advance.

School holidays and Optional holiday programmes

• Education en France students shall not return home or receive visit of their native families during the fall holidays (if arrival is September), or the winter holidays (if arrival is January).

• During each school holiday (except Christmas) we offer various opportunities for students who wish to either discover a new area of France, have fun in some amusement parks, improve their French, or prepare for exams.

• A description of the various options is given to the students upon arrival or during the stay. These programmes are not included in the price of the Academic Programme.
