As a parent who is sending your child, perhaps for the first time, to summer school abroad, you naturally have many questions. These often range from student safety and what types of activities your child will participate in, to what they will learn and who they will meet. Here we have gathered together some of these questions and provided answers that will help reassure you as you prepare your child for summer school.
Switzerland is a country located at the crossroads of Europe. Nestled between France, Italy, Austria, and Germany, it boasts awe-inspiring mountain scenery, picturesque towns and villages, and world-leading multicultural urban centres.
In a recent blog post we addressed the issue of safety and security on our summer school programme, something parents are naturally concerned about. Today, let’s further explore how we care for students attending Brillantmont as part of our upcoming Summer Course 2014.
Watch this short video that highlights some of the fun and learning that was had last year at the Brillantmont International School summer Course.
Many things characterise the various summer schools of Switzerland, but one is particularly prevalent – safety. The Swiss enjoy low crime rates and an atmosphere or peace and security, something the country is renowned for the world over.
The ever popular Brillantmont Summer Course returns on July 5th, welcoming students from 30 different countries. Parents of returning students – of whom there’ll be many! – can expect the same winning mix of classroom language studies in French or English combined with sports, evening activities and weekend excursions.
No other country mixes European cultures and languages quite as well as Switzerland, so for parents wishing to give their children invaluable linguistic skills and an appreciation of multiculturalism, there really is no better place to send them to than an international summer school.
Switzerland’s best boarding schools are all unique, each possessing a blend different ‘ingredients’. Here’s the winning recipe behind Brillantmont that places it among the country’s, and indeed the world’s, top centres of learning.
Our students are always sad to leave Brillantmont International School come graduation, yet there is a wondrous life beyond that we do our utmost to prepare them for. Hear from four students and alumnus about their time here at the school, their experience studying in Switzerland and how it has helped ready them for university and the wider world.
