As we welcome the new term at Brillantmont, it’s exciting to look ahead at the many opportunities that await our students — both in and out of the classroom.
After an action - packed few months since the start of the school year in late August, our community has already experienced a remarkable blend of academic achievement, adventure, and personal growth. Now, as we settle into the new term, there’s even more to look forward to!
Since the start of the school year, our students have demonstrated exceptional dedication to their academics, diving deeply into subjects with the teachers and collaborating on challenging projects together such as the Reading Week.
Beyond the classroom, they have embraced a variety of enriching experiences, from outdoor adventures like hiking, kayaking, and skiing to cultural outings exploring museums, nearby cities such as Zurich and Munich, and attending plays.
Vibrant in-house events, including Brazilian and Middle Eastern dinners, brought energy and creativity to every corner of Brillantmont. Students discovered new passions, deepened interests, and built lasting friendships with peers worldwide.
In October, a refreshing holiday in Cannes set the tone for a term filled with memorable highlights, such as the Halloween and St. Nicholas parties organised by the Event Planning club as well as the opportunity to participate in international experiences with the Model United Nations delegation to Singapore.
Whether trying new sports like kickboxing or tennis, running their first 10-kilometre race, or winning a volleyball competition, Brillantmont students have consistently shown resilience and enthusiasm in every challenge and adventure.
After working hard over the past four months, they are now preparing for their upcoming mid year exams. With concrete advice from their subject teachers, solid revision tactics and support from their academic tutors, each student is well-prepared to take on the challenges that lie ahead, both in their exams and in their future academic pursuits.
These are high stakes exams for many; with graduates’ sights set on their first choice universities. Their revision calls upon the skills that Brillantmont has taught them – skills they will need for success in higher education and beyond. After the hard work they can relax and enjoy the popular February ski week in Laax.
As the term unfolds, Brillantmont will continue to offer a variety of experiences and countless opportunities that help students grow, learn, and enjoy the personalised support which makes our school so unique.
This new term is not just about academics; it’s about embracing all the exciting opportunities ahead, both inside the classroom and beyond.
Here’s to a productive and inspiring term, full of new challenges, adventures and academic success for all!
