Life outside the classroom
Physical and cultural education plays a major part in the life of our
school. A multi-purpose hall provides outstanding sports facilities in
the centre of the campus – tennis, basketball, volleyball, football,
badminton, gym, hockey and other sports. In addition to this vast
range, there are numerous opportunities locally, either by the lake or
in the forests, to enjoy cycling, jogging, cross-country skiing, swim-
ming and a range of other activities.
Many students are members of school sports teams which success-
fully compete in numerous disciplines against other international
schools in the region. After class, students choose from the many
extracurricular activities on offer – Habitat for Humanity, Model
United Nations, music lessons, vocal group, school rock band, dance,
drama, cookery amongst others.
Weekends are always very busy at Brillantmont with a choice of activ-
ities taking place for all age groups. There may be weekend work-
shops such as sailing, stand-up paddle, horse riding, rock climbing,
mountain-biking, beauty and health or specialist cookery. Students
frequently go the cinema, theatre, attend concerts and shows in
Lausanne and nearby Geneva. From January to April, the school
organizes a ski and snowboarding trip to a famous ski resort every
weekend, with classes taught by trained ski/snowboarding teachers.
All students, day and boarding, are encouraged to fully participate
in all these activities At all times, the school is keen to develop the
students’ ecological awareness and sense of responsibility to the
world in which we live.
