About a third of our students are day students. Some are Swiss locals, others are expatriates who may have just moved into the area. They live mostly in the Lausanne area, however some travel every day from Geneva and Fribourg.
Company relocations are not always ideally timed. Thus, we accept day students throughout the academic year and do our utmost to ensure that students adapt quickly and painlessly to their new circumstances.
The Brillantmont bus service collects students at Lausanne station at 7.45am to bring them to school, if there is sufficient demand. Otherwise, students can come by Metro (Station: Ours) or with the no.7 or no.13 bus. See public transportation website for more information.
Day students are an integral part of Brillantmont and are encouraged to
participate fully in school life. Most eat lunch at school, with the boarders and at the end of the day, can join the numerous extra-curricular activities. They are also welcome to sign up for the trips that take place at weekends.
When day students do not have class, they can use the library / media area for study. Otherwise, they may use the day lounge to meet between classes and during breaks to relax, chat and play a game of pool or they may choose to be outside on the multi-purpose court, playing basketball or tennis.
Parents often have busy schedules so we offer various facilities to help day students : they can join the boarders to make a start on their homework in our supervised study hall at the end of each day; they can eat dinner at school and they can occasionally stay in the boarding school, should both parents have to travel.
