Brillantmont marks the beginning of a unique experience in our students' lives, when coming to study in Switzerland. Friendships will be forged, academic excellence will be attained, and the cornerstones of our philosophy will be imparted: curiosity, responsibility, respect and inter-cultural understanding.

Brillantmont is one of the oldest boarding schools in Switzerland.  We've been welcoming 13-18 year olds into our Grade 8-12 School Year programme for 140 years.

We're a small, family owned school and what we do best is see each child as a unique individual, with unique talents.

- Small size makes a warm, supportive home from home learning environment

- Personalised learning experience thanks to small classes and close teacher contact

- Possibility to come for just one term or one year

- Fantastic opportunities in and beyond the classroom

- Amazing city centre location with Swiss nature close by.

Brillantmont is unique, just as your child is unique!

Our teaching promotes a growth mindset which encourages students to develop an awareness of their own learning journey.

Whether a BM student is planning to go to university, take a gap year or pursue other options, we offer guidance and student assistance in that transition. We start to talk about the different options in 10th Grade.

Each year various university fairs and Open Days within the region provide further information and universities from all over the world regularly visit Brillantmont to give presentations to groups of potential students. We help students join Open Days or visit universities which interest them.

At all stages, students receive completely personalised support from our Guidance Counsellor and their university applications are well prepared. They also practise the communication skills, interview techniques and role play situations they will need later at the academic interview stage.

In recent years, our graduates have entered universities across the world, including:

In Switzerland - the University of Lausanne; the University of Geneva; the University of St Gallen; Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne; Glion Hospitality School.

In the UK - Kings College London; Royal Holloway London; City University London; Central St Martin's London; Edinburgh University; Manchester University; University of Kent.

Elsewhere - University of Amsterdam, Netherlands; Bocconi University, Italy; San Pablo University, Spain; Waseda University, Japan; Boulder University, Colorado; Parsons School of Design, USA.

and several other institutions.

Owned by the same family since 1882, Brillantmont creates a home from home, in which students can grow and develop in and beyond the classroom. Family and a sense of feeling at home is central to what we do.

We’d love to welcome you here so you can discover what makes our school so incredible.
