Boarding students at IBS Summer Camp come from all over the world to learn French or English while having the time of their life.
Designed on the concept of a family home, under the watchful eye of supervisors, the boarding section is an extension of the day in a convivial atmosphere, alternating between activities and cultural regional visits, meals and leisure time.
Our five IBS boarding houses accommodate boarders in rooms of two to five.
Student rooms are organized by gender and age range, and languages/nationalities are mixed.
Our boarding houses are located outside campus (from 1min to 20min away) and a bus comes to pick up the students every morning for a nice breakfast on campus, and drops them off every day after dinner.
Some boarding houses have a swimming pool and one of them even has a tennis court, that boarding students at IBS Summer Camp can use after a camp day.
Sometimes we organize Pool Parties at the end of the day, so students can relax all together around the pool, with nice music and a barbecue.
The following services are available to boarders:
• Transportation services -> Marseille airport (MRS), Aix-en-Provence TGV train station <- (Friday and Sunday between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm)
• Medical care monitoring
• Laundry service (for students staying 3 weeks and more)
• Pocket-money management
