Teaching follows the British route — IGCSE then A-Levels — alongside an American High School Diploma, in very small classes that allow close attention to each pupil. Brillantmont is the only school in its area to offer British IGCSEs and A-Levels.
A close-knit community of around eighty pupils, boarding and day, on a townhouse campus in central Lausanne with the lake and mountains close at hand. Daily life is deliberately family-like, built around kindness, individuality and steady growth.
Sport, the creative arts and skiing run through the year, alongside service and leadership opportunities and an after-school programme; summer and winter courses (from age 10) add language learning and excursions.
Admissions run on a rolling basis through an online application; given the school's small size, early enquiry is advisable.

Families looking for a small, personal school — where a child is known individually rather than lost in a large cohort — often respond to this family-run setting in the heart of Lausanne.
Selecting the right school depends on a careful understanding of the student’s profile and long-term objectives — our advisory work focuses on aligning these elements.
