The school was founded in 1882. This is one of the oldest educational institutions in Switzerland, a member of the Swiss Association of private schools. Brillantmont is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and the European Council of International Schools.

This educational institution has a reputation of a school offering the highest-level international class education not only in Switzerland, but also far beyond its borders.

The school is located in the centre of Lausanne in a magnificent 10-acre park, where it occupies seven buildings surrounded by greenery. There are cafes and shops within a five-minute walk of the school. Lausanne is a French-speaking city with a population of 250,000 people on the shores of Lake Geneva, which has a rich historical past and plays a crucial role in education, culture, tourism, sports and economics.

A summer school is a wonderful combination of intensive language lessons, interesting excursions to the most beautiful and significant places and a variety of sporting events.

KEY FACTORS

  • Children from more than 30 countries of the world study at the summer school - language practice is guaranteed.
  • You can learn English and French.
  • Theoretical lessons are supplemented by practical exercises on the topics of everyday life, as well as excursions, during which students get the opportunity to communicate with local residents, which means to improve their spoken language.
  • Classes are held in small classes - a maximum of 12 people.

EQUIPMENT

The college is well equipped with science laboratories, libraries with Internet access, a photo laboratory, a multimedia centre for learning foreign languages, and an art studio.

PROGRAM

Language Academy

Learn French or English in a classroom setting (average of 10 students), where children will focus on grammar and vocabulary. Oral classes will help develop fluency in order to use the language effectively and build confidence. On Fridays, there will be a short test to check progress, and at the end of the course, a certificate with grades and comments from the teacher will be issued. This will help students assess their progress and provide advice on how to further develop their language skills. Suitable for all language levels.

Technology Academy

This exciting two-week course introduces students to the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics through interactive, hands-on learning. During the first week, children learn the basics of AI — how it works, where it is used, and how it affects society. By solving real-world problems and completing creative projects, they will see how AI can analyse data, recognise patterns and solve problems.

The second week will focus on robotics. Children will build and program their own robots, applying AI concepts so that they can perceive, learn and act independently. By the end of the course, participants will not only understand AI and robotics, but will also have acquired the skills to design, experiment and innovate using these powerful technologies.

The Technology Academy consists of two sessions. Each session lasts two weeks, with classes held every morning.
Session 1: 4–18 July.
Session 2: 18 July–1 August.

At the end of their stay, students will receive a certificate detailing their achievements during the course.

The academy's courses are taught in English and are not suitable for beginners. Students must bring their own computer with a keyboard. Brillantmont School does not provide computers.

ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD

Boys and girls are accommodated in accordance with their age in rooms for one or two people (students from different nationalities are encouraged to stay). They offer beautiful views of the lake or the Alps.

Teachers live together with students, looking after them, organize evening events, they are always ready to help and answer questions.

Three meals a day are organized in the school cafeteria, the menu is a classic French cuisine with the obligatory presence of vegetarian dishes. You can also grab a bite to eat at the school cafeteria.

ENTERTAINMENT ACTIVITIES

In the second half of the day, students choose one of the following activities:

BM Move – active sports. The programme can be chosen as a daily activity (except Wednesdays) or combined with another programme in the afternoon.

Children will play sports on campus or by the lake, playing basketball, football, gymnastics, volleyball, trampolining, hockey and much more. At the end of the day, weather permitting, students often head to the outdoor pool by the lake, where there are various sports areas and fun inflatable attractions to test their balancing skills without falling into the water.

BM Create is an art academy. The programme can be chosen twice a week (except Wednesdays), which means that children will attend BM Create twice a week and BM Move twice a week.

This programme is designed to unlock creative potential. Children will practise their drawing skills, improve their oil painting technique or show their inventiveness by making earrings, bracelets, bags and other interesting fashion accessories. The art teacher will help them find their creative voice, regardless of their level of training.

Classes are conducted in English and are suitable for all levels of artistic training.

BM Tennis Pro is a tennis programme. It can be chosen twice a week (except Wednesdays), which means that children will participate in the BM Tennis Pro programme two days a week and the BM Move programme two days a week.

A professional coach will turn a good game into a legendary one! Thanks to the best advice and techniques, children will reach a new level. Classes are conducted in English and French and are only for experienced players.

Evening activities

An entertainment programme is held in the evenings. This may include cooking master classes, sports tournaments, a trampoline park, bowling, quizzes, movie nights, treasure hunts, ice skating, talent shows and much more. On Friday, before departure, children can enjoy a barbecue in the garden, followed by a disco.

EXCURSIONS

On Wednesdays, children will visit local attractions with their class and teacher to learn about something typically Swiss. This could be a Swiss landmark such as Chillon Castle, or a fascinating interactive museum such as the Olympic Museum, a chocolate factory or a science laboratory at the university. Afterwards, the children will meet their friends at the lake for a delicious picnic and games.

On Saturdays, there is a full-day excursion. The school's convenient location in the centre of Switzerland allows for excursions to various parts of the country: Lausanne, Bern and Geneva. Visits to historical sites and museums are designed to awaken children's interest in art and history, while excursions to picturesque corners of unspoilt nature are intended to inspire respect and love for the environment.

The programme depends on the weather but we usually go to: a lakeside park to do watersports; mountain tree climbing circuit; caves in Vallorbe; underground salt mines in Bex; Aquaparc water park; a walking adventure hunt, mountain karting in Morgins, a hike on the Moléson mountain.
