Bedrooms
Facilities include bunk beds in 4-bedded rooms with one wardrobe per student, and shared facilities. Shared showers and toilets in separate cubicles are located on each floor and clean and well maintained., but simple and functional, rather than luxurious. Bed sheets are provided and changed once a week. Towels are provided.

Boys and girls are accommodated on separate floors with no access between floors.
Student laundry is organised once per week, usually on Wednesday or Thursday, and it is a free of charge service.

School staff aim to ensure that rooms are shared with children of different nationalities and of similar age so that they continue speaking French outside of the classroom and make new friends. Parents may request for their child to share with a particular friend, and this will be considered but cannot always be guaranteed.
