This article provides a few tips for both parents and students to help make the initial transition into boarding school smoother.

The British, just like the Swiss, have a long and rich history of boarding school education. Centuries of refinement and excellence in both countries have brought forth some of the world’s greatest leaders, scientists, authors and more.

Just as the houses of Hogwarts - Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff & Slytherin - brought students together and created close-knit communities within a large school, so the houses of Brillantmont foster a sense of family and belonging. 

In our previous blog article, Why study in Lausanne: Capital of Sports, we discussed the rich history of sports in Lausanne and the opportunities that the city has to offer for boarding and day students from all over the world.

This article will explore other reasons to send your child to Swiss boarding school in Lausanne including its multicultural haven.

Thousands of parents from all over the world choose to send their children to boarding school in Switzerland. Known for its security, rich cultural opportunities and excellent educational offerings, Swiss international boarding schools are some of the best in the world. 

Since the beginning of the year, Brillantmont International School has been filled with exciting and memorable activities. This article will highlight a few of these and give you a sense of the incredible opportunities that Brillantmont has to offer as a top international school in Switzerland!
