Starting life at a new school is always an adventure, with many wonderful experiences awaiting the eager student. So much depends on how you embrace fresh challenges and strive to make the most of every life lesson. However, here at Brillantmont we do a great deal to help newcomers to settle in and achieve a true sense of belonging in a new boarding school or day school.

While the practical aspects of preparing for a new school, especially a boarding establishment, such as buying clothes and stationery are obvious, it is important not to neglect psychological preparation for school.
When making university preparations there are a great many things to consider. Excellent guides such as this one from the UK’s Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) outline many practicalities, from arranging one’s finances to securing decent accommodation. While this information is useful, what is less understood and explained is how our budding scholars must prepare themselves psychologically for what is often a life-changing experience, lasting anywhere between three years and the best part of a decade.
