Brillantmont International School - Winter Course

Overview

Brillantmont is in the centre of Lausanne, a beautiful city in French speaking Switzerland and overlooks Lake Léman. Close to Geneva airport, the majestic Swiss Alps are less than an hour away. The size of the school and the outstanding care and support creates a warm, family environment in which every student feels at home and thrives in and out of the classroom.

Winter Course students are housed in Brillantmont’s boarding houses, which are organized by age and gender. A teacher lives alongside them to help and support them. Students share a room with someone of a different nationality. The rooms are spacious and bright with shared bathrooms (approx. 1 bathroom / 4 students). Meals are taken together with the whole school and we encourage the Winter Course students to make friends with those of the regular school year. For several classes, where possible, the Winter Course students study alongside those of the School Year. It’s an opportunity to make friendships and connections for life.

The Winter Course is a great opportunity to learn new skills in an international environment, to experience boarding school life and to enjoy Winter activities. Who knows - maybe you’ll want to stay longer! Join the Brillantmont family today and make memories that last a lifetime.

DURING WEEK 5

Swiss Explorer week – an excursion every day to join a winter sports activity or to visit a famous Swiss landmark or city (programme finalised based on the weather /snow conditions) SKIING There are numerous ski resorts within approx. 1 hour’s drive from Brillantmont. Every weekend, we organise a full day ski trip to a leading Swiss ski resort (e.g. Verbier, Crans Montana, Portes du Soleil, Villars, Glacier 3000). This usually takes place on the Sunday (pending weather conditions). Fully qualified ski teachers lead the ski/ snowboard classes: we have classes at various levels from beginners to advanced. Students must ski with the ski teacher at all times and are not allowed to ski on their own.
