Athletics & Physical Fitness

Physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and the EHL Health & Sports services encourage each student to stay fit. Our sports teams and activities are just as diverse as our student body; there is something for everyone! Most of the team sports are organized by student committees, while the Sports Department facilitates various activities such as weekly group classes and excursions. Overall, we encourage students to make the best use of the natural environment, and outdoor and indoor facilities, located near each campus.

ehl-accessibility

Accessibility

EHL makes every effort to accommodate people with visible and invisible disabilities. We collaborate with students and staff to identify barriers and implement plans for access, and we foster an environment of equity and inclusion.

Future EHL students: If you have a disability or require any academic or physical adaptations, you will be asked to send a physician’s report explaining your condition and the requirements during the enrollment process (not during the application process).

Visitors to EHL Campuses: If you have a disability that requires a physical adaptation, please inform your EHL correspondent in advance so that we may plan for your arrival.
ehl-harassment

Sexual Assault & Harassment Prevention and Response

Since 2019, EHL’s Women in Leadership group and the Student Affairs department has been spearheading a Sexual Harassment Prevention (SHP) Initiative in partnership with the Non-Violence Project Foundation (NVPF).  The initiative aims to educate members of the EHL community to prevent and recognize forms of sexual harassment using a three-tiered intervention method that includes workshops. These workshops have become mandatory as of the 2021-2022 academic year.

Health & Safety Measures

Ensuring a safe and secure environment is our utmost priority. EHL employs professional security guards on its campuses. They are the first point of contact for students in case of a non-life-threatening emergency outside of school hours. They watch over the campus infrastructures at night, respond to calls, and take reports of any suspicious activities on campus.

Student Affairs Department

Composed of 23 qualified and certified professionals, EHL’s Student Affairs department coordinates services and programs across EHL campuses to solve problems, create a healthy environment, and encourage personal growth, well-being, and professional development.

  • Help for most student life questions and concerns

Academic Support

At EHL, learning doesn’t just take place in the classroom, the process continues throughout the campus and on several platforms, and students have access to diverse resources.

A team of recent EHL graduates are employed by the school full-time to provide academic support to professors and students. This team and professors offering tutoring sessions are available to answer questions and help students with complicated topics and assignments. 

Visiting lecturers and mentors, such as EHL Alumni, executives from major hotels, and start-up owners, play a significant role in the learning process by contributing their personal experience and insights through campus lectures and one-on-one mentoring activities.

Over the past year at EHL, we have adopted a Hyflex distance learning model for our current students:

  • All EHL courses are now available for streaming and digital workshops are ready for Preparatory Year students
  • Our digital learning platform allows all other students to be present, in rotation, on campus and study remotely to maintain the quality and rhythm of the curriculum
  • EHL’s Learning Management System houses course related content such as videos, lecture notes, and quizzes, allowing students to supplement their knowledge and faculty to test their understanding

Offered as a free resource to help students develop their writing skills, the writing center provides individual feedback and support, coaching sessions and workshops, guidance for professional-quality documents.
