Brillantmont Summer Course

The Brillantmont summer course is for boys and girls aged 10-16 and students come from around 30 different countries. Students choose to stay between 2 to 6 weeks. The programme is not a fixed block. This means that if a student stays for 6 weeks, he or she will study something new each week and will join new activities and excursions.

 Overview

The Brillantmont summer course has been running for nearly forty years. It is extremely popular and many students return year after year. For some, it is their first time away from home ; for others, it is a way of getting to know Brillantmont before commencing the school year in September. Doing excursions and activities all together is a very important part of the Brillantmont experience, helping build friendships from all over the world and feeling at home.

Activities

Language academy (french or English)

Students choose to study French or English. On arrival, students are tested in their chosen language and put into the appropriate class. The average class size is 12 students, so there is a lot of teacher contact.

The language classes take place in the mornings from 09h00 to 12h15, with a 15 minute break in the middle. In the first period, the student focuses on grammar and language structure, whereas, in the second period, with a different teacher, the focus is more on communication and oral fluency.

Evening activities

Campus life is busy and in the evenings we may go off campus to do an activity like trampoline, bowling, indoor climbing or laser game. If we stay on campus, we may organise a sport’s tournament, a cooking session, an arts and crafts session, a talent show, a treasure hunt and many more fun activities. The highlight of the week is our Friday disco, where the rhythm takes over!
