The application journey in a few easy steps

Applications will open for 2026-2027 shortly. Thank you for your patience as we are implementing a new admissions system.

Brillantmont International School takes a holistic approach to reviewing the application of every candidate. In addition to academic achievements, we are looking for candidates who are open-minded, who will get involved in school life and extra-curricular activities and will thrive in an international community.

Step 1:
You must create a profile in order to use our Admissions Portal. 

Step 2:
There is a lot of information we need to know about you and your family! Please fill out the different questions in the Admissions Portal. You will need to upload various documents, such as your school reports, your passport and medical information, so make sure you have them ready.

Step 3:
We will send you an Admissions test in Maths and English (all grades). We will send additional tests if you plan to enter Grade 11 or Grade 13. 

Step 4:
We will contact you to fix a date for a Zoom interview or an interview on campus in person.

Step 5:
We will ask you for the payment of the registration fee of CHF 2’000 (this is non-refundable). We will provide a student ID number in order to effect the payment via our online secure platform.

Step 6:
The completed admissions file is reviewed by our Head of Admissions and the decision is communicated in writing:
- Acceptance
- Waiting list
- Refused

Step 7:
If accepted, Brillantmont sends an Offer of Admission and an Acceptance Form.

Step 8:
The family ticks all the boxes on the Acceptance Form and returns it to Brillantmont. This must be done within 10 days
&
the family pays the Admission Deposit within 10 days (CHF 12’000 for a boarding student or CHF 2’000 for a day student. This secures the student's place.

The admission is not final until the Admission Deposit is received. The Admission Deposit is refunded at the end of the student's stay.

What's next?

On receipt of the Admissions Deposit, the admission is confirmed and the student is now part of the Brillantmont community.

You may wish to fix a meeting with our Head of Academics to talk about the academic programme.  You will be connected to a "buddy" a few weeks prior to arrival.

Student visa:
Students who are staying for longer than 3 months and who do not come from a European country may require a student visa to enter Switzerland. 

Please refer to the official website here to see which nationalities require visas. A student cannot enter Switzerland without the correct visa. 

The visa can take up to 12 weeks to process. Therefore, applications for the new school year must be made as soon as possible, to ensure that the student can commence the new school year on time.
Please be aware that is the family's responsibility to apply for the entry visa for the student.

Student permit:
Once a student has arrived in Switzerland, Brillantmont will apply for a student residency permit (B Permit).
