Deciding to send your child to a boarding school in a foreign country can be difficult. Likewise, attending a school away from home as a student can be daunting. However, the benefits of going to boarding school abroad more than outweigh any concerns. Here are five reasons why attending a boarding school abroad is a great idea.
Brillantmont has packed a lot into its 131-year history, but it is as ever a school that looks to the future as much as the past. With this in mind there is much to look forward to in the coming years, as we’ll discover in the final part of our History of Brillantmont series.
Throughout its 131-year history, Brillantmont International School has been administered by five subsequent generations of one family, all of whom have had an influence on the school’s development and ethos.
During more than a century of teaching, Brillantmont has undergone several significant changes. Each subsequent generation of the founding family has overseen developments either in the school’s physical appearance or in its curriculum or teaching structure.
Brillantmont was founded in 1882 as a boarding school for girls. Now, 131 years later, many things have changed, but members of that same founding family still own the school and sit on the School Board, heading a team which steers students towards academic and personal success.
Brillantmont has many talented students, and considers each one special in many different ways. Each year, upon graduating, some are honoured with awards from both Brillantmont and outside organisations. Here we bring you news of two such students – Wei (William) Lee from Taiwan and Ekaterina Dopiro from Russia.
On June 21st our Graduation and Prize-Giving ceremony took place. Congratulations to all our graduates and we wish them well on their journeys.
Brillantmont alumnus Jordi Godayol from Spain tells us about his time here, and how his A Level studies gave him excellent university options including a place at one of the world’s top academic institutions, right here in Lausanne.
Here at Brillantmont we’ve nurtured countless young minds throughout our 130-year history, and wished all of them a fond farewell upon moving on to the next chapter of their lives. Let’s hear from three recent or soon-to-be leavers – Koffi from France, Laura from Colombia and the parents of Jeremy from the USA.
