Choosing France to pursue aviation studies is a significant decision. Whether you come from Europe, Africa, Asia, or Latin America, joining Hexagone Aviation School means opting for a multicultural, demanding, and supportive environment. From your arrival and throughout your academic journey, we implement tailored support to ensure your success, integration, and personal development.
Our commitment to international students is absolute. The award of the "Bienvenue en France" label, granted by Campus France, attests to the quality of reception we offer and the concrete measures we have implemented. You are not merely a foreign student; you become a full-fledged member of the Hexagone community.
Upon your admission, our team assists you with all preparatory procedures for your arrival. You will receive a welcome guide in both French and English, outlining the steps to follow, documents to prepare, useful contacts, and essential information to effectively anticipate your relocation.
We provide information on the student visa application process, how to put together your application, processing times, any required translations, and the supporting documents you’ll need to provide.
We recognize that every journey is unique. Therefore, we tailor our support to the specific needs of each individual: minor students, students with families, students with disabilities, students from third countries with specific regulations, among others. Our objective is straightforward: to enable you to prepare for your arrival with complete peace of mind.
Your arrival in France is a pivotal moment. We do everything we can to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible. Depending on your arrival date and your circumstances, you may be eligible for our personalized welcome service, which includes assistance with getting your bearings in the area (maps, points of interest, nearby services) and help with administrative procedures.
We regularly organize integration days specifically for international students. These days allow you to discover the school's operations, meet other international and French students, address all your questions to our team, and participate in social gatherings. A welcome kit is also provided, containing key information and the necessary documents for your settlement.
We know how crucial the first few days are. You’re never on your own: as soon as you arrive, you’ll be placed in a group, allowing you to benefit from the experience of students who are already there.
Student life in France entails a number of administrative procedures. We guide you step-by-step:
- opening a bank account,
- registration with social security,
- obtaining supplementary health insurance,
- subscribing to housing insurance,
- registration with authorities if required,
- procedures for visa renewal,
- tax declaration, if applicable.
Everything is explained with clear materials, translations, and, most importantly, human support. Our administrative staff is trained to work with international audiences with patience, kindness, and efficiency. Every student can benefit from an individual appointment to be guided through their administrative procedures.
Our goal is to help you feel at home in France while allowing you to preserve your cultural identity. We encourage a gradual, natural, and positive integration process, without ever forcing assimilation.
We also organize intercultural activities throughout the year:
- cultural visits of the region,
- events celebrating world cultures,
- exchanges between international and French students,
- workshops to discover French culture (gastronomy, traditions, institutions).
You are also encouraged to share your own culture, whether during festive or educational moments. Hexagone is a school that values diversity as a strength: we want everyone to be able to fully express their identity, and for all students to learn from one another.
We ensure that all our materials are accessible in French and English. This includes the website, internal regulations, safety instructions, administrative guides, main educational materials, and forms.
Communication with instructors and administration can be conducted in English if needed. Should you encounter any comprehension difficulties, we will assist you in clarifying information, rephrasing instructions, or providing linguistic support. Our instructors are accustomed to working with international students, and 8 different languages are spoken within the school.
Our welcome does not end after your arrival. We provide ongoing support throughout your studies. Review meetings can be arranged at your request or at the school's initiative.
Our approach is human, responsive, and centered on your well-being. You are not a number. You are an individual with a history and a project, and our entire team is committed to helping you achieve it under the best possible conditions.
Hexagone Aviation School is committed to actively developing partnerships with schools and institutions abroad as part of our ongoing commitment to openness. We collaborate with international networks to promote mobility, welcome new talent, and offer our students enriching intercultural experiences.
Our ambition is to train a new generation of aviation professionals: competent, mobile, open to the world, and value-driven. Welcoming international students into this project is not only a responsibility but also a unique opportunity to enrich our community.
