Since 1882
Entrust your child to the experts. Brillantmont is the oldest Swiss boarding school to be run and owned since its foundation (1882) by the same family. We are looking forward to our 150th school year anniversary-quite a milestone!
The Good Schools Guide (June '25) says of Brillantmont -
"A family-run gem with deep roots and solid values - warm, inclusive and refreshingly free of flash. Offers a rare blend of urban access and Swiss serenity: safe, scenic and just minutes from Lausanne. Big on care, light on ego, it champions kindness, individuality and steady growth over hot-housed pressure. Small enough to know everyone, strong enough to help each thrive."
Our re-accreditation in July 2023 by CIS (Council of International Schools ) and NEASC (New England Schools and Colleges), commended our " clear sense of purpose and direction which is visible across all aspects of school life" and "the school community for living the vision of the school so that a happy, family atmosphere permeates throughout the school."
Could Brillantmont be your next home from home? Enjoy exploring our amazing school!
