This is why at Brillantmont we provide first-class sport facilities for our students. The hours spent studying and learning in the classroom are balanced with fun physical activities such as tennis, basketball, trampolining, and swimming. These school sports engage the students in new and exciting ways.
In the middle school years, children learn important skills that form the foundation of later learning. Every parent wants the best possible education for their child.
