The English language study holidays are organized in various different ways according to the number of students who take part in it and the country in question; the study holiday lasts three weeks, the students stay in a local family and attend an English course of 4-5 hours a day plus a series of activities: excursions, guided tours, performances, sports etc.). These holidays are organized both in June and September in Great Britain, Ireland and Canada.

The above, regarding the English language study holidays, also applies to the study holidays for other languages. The holiday always lasts three weeks but the students may stay in a collage instead of staying with a local families.

Exchanges also have some factors in common: the students' families provide mutual hospitality, the length of the exchange can range form eight to fifteen days.

The school has also set out a short six-point list of rules regarding study holidays abroad:

1 - Students on study holidays abroad are obliged to adhere to the timetables as laid down by the foreign school  and by their accompanying teacher for both classroom and extra-classroom activities.
2- Participation is obligatory: daily attendance at lessons and participation in excursions, meetings and extra classroom activities organized for the group. Unjustified absences or absences that have not met with the prior approval of the accompanying teacher will not be taken lightly (and may lead to the student being sent home immediately)   
3- The accompanying teachers have full authority during the study holiday and their decisions are binding for students and families 
4- A student whose commitment is insufficient or who fails to respect the above regulations or is found responsible of any other misbehavior will be punished accordingly and their family notified. If punishment does not yield the desired improvement, the family will again be informed and the student sent home at his/her own expense.
5- Minors may go out in the evening, even alone, if written permission has been given by their family.
6- At the conclusion of the course an attendance certificate will be issued to the student specifying the marks obtained and may earn credits for the students portfolio.
