Arriving in France to study at Hexagone Aviation School marks the beginning of an exciting adventure, but also a significant period of transition. To ensure this new chapter begins under optimal conditions, comprehensive support for all settlement-related procedures is essential. From opening a bank account to subscribing to health insurance, including housing search and daily life organization, our school is committed to providing structured, personalized, and practical assistance to each of its international students.
We understand that beyond every administrative or logistical procedure lies a much broader reality: that of adapting to a new environment, feeling comfortable and secure, and being able to fully concentrate on one's studies and life as a student pilot.
A successful transition for an international student begins with a good understanding of the environment in which they will be living. Hexagone Aviation School is located near Paris, in a vibrant and easily accessible region that offers a well-balanced lifestyle combining urban activities, local amenities, and natural spaces.
From the very first contact, our teams provide clear and up-to-date information about local life:

- Local organizations and student life
In this way, we help our students plan for their needs from the moment they arrive and provide personalized support tailored to their individual profiles and expectations, ensuring a smooth and successful transition.
Housing is often the top concern for international students. To make this key step easier, Hexagone Aviation School works with several housing partners, including student residences, real estate agencies, and specialized platforms. We help our students find options that fit their budget, lifestyle, and length of stay.
We offer a variety of solutions:

Opening a bank account is an essential step for living and studying in France. With this account, you will be able to:
- Pay your everyday expenses
- Receive your payments (scholarships, financial aid, family support)
- Rent an apartment
- Sign up for a mobile plan or a transit pass
At Hexagone Aviation School, we make this process easier thanks to our partnerships with several banks. These banks offer special accounts tailored to students, and some even allow you to open an account remotely before you arrive in France.
Thanks to our partnerships, opening a bank account is a simple and secure process.
Access to healthcare is a fundamental right in France, and Hexagone Aviation School ensures that its students have comprehensive health coverage from the moment they arrive.
Registration with the French Social Security system is mandatory and free of charge. It entitles you to reimbursement for a portion of your medical expenses, including doctor visits, medications, and tests.
Once students have been officially enrolled in the school, we assist them in setting up their personal account on the official portal (etudiant-etranger.ameli.fr) and in submitting the required documents:
- Visa or residence permit
- School Enrollment Certificate
- Proof of address
- Bank account information (RIB)
In addition, we strongly recommend that you enroll in a supplemental health insurance plan, which covers the portion of costs not reimbursed by Social Security. Several plans tailored to students are available, depending on your needs: frequent doctor visits, eyeglasses, dental care, hospitalization, and more.
Hexagone connects students with reputable, affordable, and reliable health insurance providers that offer a multilingual interface, ensuring that you can access healthcare easily and with peace of mind.
Living in France requires you to purchase certain types of mandatory insurance.
- Home insurance: Required for all rental properties, regardless of size. It covers damage that may occur in the home, such as fire, water damage, theft, etc.
- Liability insurance: essential, especially for training programs. It covers any damage you may cause to others, whether during classes, internships, or in your daily life. It is often included in health or home insurance policies, but Hexagone ensures that every student is properly covered.
Once admission is confirmed, Hexagone provides detailed information about these insurance plans and refers students to reliable providers, ensuring a safe and stress-free transition.
To make it easier for international students to settle in and navigate daily life, Hexagone Aviation School offers comprehensive digital support and convenient mobile services.
- Useful apps and platforms: access to tools for managing your administrative tasks, keeping track of your classes, viewing your schedules, and staying informed about school events.
- Phone and internet services: guidance on plans tailored to international students, with reliable mobile and internet packages to help you stay connected right away upon arrival.
- Remote assistance: digital support for students before and after their arrival, including practical guides, tutorials, and contact information to quickly answer all your questions.
With these services, settling into life in France becomes easier, faster, and more secure, allowing you to focus fully on your studies and your experience living in France.
Beyond the administrative procedures, a successful transition depends on genuine personal support. That is why Hexagone Aviation School offers a student mentoring program that allows newcomers to be guided by students who are already settled in.
Our team is available before, during, and after your arrival to answer any questions you may have, no matter how simple. With Hexagone, no student is left to navigate the process alone, and everyone receives ongoing support to help them settle into life in France with peace of mind.
At Hexagone, we believe that effective relocation support also guarantees academic success. A student who feels reassured, well-housed, adequately covered, and well-informed is a student who can fully concentrate on their training, integration, and personal development.
This is why our relocation support is not limited to simply transmitting information; it is a proactive, benevolent, and personalized approach, in line with the values of excellence, openness, and humanity that define our school.
