Classrooms, and activities for the Program are in the John Knox International Centre in the village of Grand-Saconnex, about 10 minutes walk from many principal international organizations, NGOS, U.N., WHO, ILO and 15 minutes by bus from downtown Geneva.  You may live in the Centre or we can arrange housing with a Geneva resident if you have French language skills.  We also arrange accommodations in an English speaking environment when our allocation of rooms in the Knox Centre is full. 

RESIDENTIAL OPTION
If you wish to improve your French language skills and  perhaps gain a greater appreciation of the culture you may want to live with a local resident.  Students who recently opted for this option are seen here with Mme Gertrude, our Housing Director in Geneva.

Our Housing Director in Geneva is responsible for finding accommodations in Geneva.  Several residents  rent rooms to our students. Program policies preclude students  from seeking accommodations on their own.  The rent includes sheets and blankets, and frequently kitchen privileges can be arranged. The Fall 2007 semester rent for a student living with a resident was about 600 CHF per month.

The Knox Centre is the headquarters for the Program and a cafeteria. Single and double rooms are available, some with wash basins.  The rooms are very small.  Breakfast is included, and the required meal plan provides dinner Monday through Wednesday and lunch on Thursday.  Additional meals may be purchased by any Program participant at a reduced rate.  Room and board fees at the Knox Centre must be paid with a with credit card.

Knox Centre chef, Jose, provides birthday cakes for the unsuspecting residents and those in homestays.
