All boarding accommodation is on campus in five on-site buildings, with a secure access system. Boys and girls live in separate houses organized by age, and a member of the boarding team lives on each floor. Most students share a twin room with someone from another nationality, and younger students may be in triple occupancy.
Meals are served in the dining room with a warm meal and a balanced meat-based or vegetarian menu. The majority of day students eat lunch at Brillantmont.
Every student belongs to one of five houses: Anker, Piccard, Rousseau, Chaplin, Einstein. The houses meet weekly for team-building and inter-house events, fostering belonging and leadership.
Brillantmont is family-owned and run by the same family since 1882 and is not part of a larger group.
