Our quarantined students have now completed their compulsory ten days and have joined the rest of our boarding and day students. Our whole, family community, with students from all over the world, is reunited once again and beneath our masks, we are all smiles!

We know that traveling right now is complicated for many people across the world, but we also know how important it is for our families to discover Brillantmont, since it may be home to your child for the coming months and years.

Join us for a virtual tour, visiting key areas, finding out about life in and beyond the classroom and learning more about what makes Brillantmont a unique place to live and learn.

Let’s go!

Here at Brillantmont, we strive to give our students the very best education. Our courses are designed to build our students’ knowledge and skills - and also to prepare them for life after school. Whether students are heading to university, or into the workplace, we aim to equip them with everything they will need in the future.

Brillantmont is proud to present the Class of 2020! They’ll go down in history since they are the very first class in the 138 years of the school’s existence to celebrate via a Virtual Graduation. With filmed speeches, prizes and presentations, we were able to honour and celebrate their successes, as they watched from across the world.

Eric Frei, President of the School Board and 5th generation member of the founding family, shares his Graduation Message to our school community.

Anne Frei, Head of School and 5th generation member of the founding family, welcomes you all to share in the celebration of our Class of 2020.

The mathematics students at Brillantmont have been working extremely hard and producing excellent work. In particular, we are very excited to showcase our students’ efforts using a range of interactive software to visualise equations and processes.

Bringing this creative element into our mathematics lessons has really inspired our students, and the results have certainly been a sight to behold. From interactive diagrams to trigonometrical animation, our classes are combining mathematics with technology - and having a lot of fun along the way!

Fundada en 1882 y en manos de la familia que la fundó, Brillantmont es una escuela internacional mixta con internado propio. La escuela acoge a 100 alumnos de entre 13 y 18 años provenientes de más de 30 países.

Se ubica en el centro de Lausana, ciudad francófona de Suiza, con vistas al lago Lemán y a los Alpes, y se sitúa a 40 minutos del aeropuerto internacional de Ginebra. El tamaño de la escuela y su excepcional atención personalizada crean un clima acogedor y familiar, donde cada alumno se siente como en casa y da lo mejor dentro y fuera de clase.

“Thanks to Brillantmont’s location in Switzerland, we are able to offer visits to different parts of Europe and give students the chance to experience new countries and cultures, ” says Head of Boarding,  Martyn Dix. “For this year’s Autumn half term holiday we took a week-long trip to Salzburg and had a wonderful time, with glorious weather.”

Take a look at what the students have been working on this term as part of their IGCSE and A Levels Programme at Brillantmont International School.

From Chemistry to Art, and across all the different grades, students are hard at work and many of our classes have started new topics within their subjects. Whether they are preparing for exams, applying learned theory to practical experiments, or investigating important themes and events, there is a lot going on right now here at Brillantmont!

Every year at Brillantmont, we offer students from all over the world a chance to come and join our boarding school in Switzerland with our Winter Camp and Language Course Programme. For between four and six weeks during January and February, students can take part in lessons, make new friends, enjoy excursions, brush up on their winter sports skills on the mountains, and explore beautiful Lausanne in Switzerland.

Packed with fun activities and learning opportunities, our Winter Camp and Language Course programme is extremely popular - so make sure you book quickly to avoid missing out! But first, read on to see exactly what the course offers, and why students love coming to Brillantmont for their winter break.
