A stimulating blend of lessons, co-curricular activities, and social opportunities make every day at Beau Soleil unique.

At Beau Soleil, the rhythm of life is built around the academic day, which runs from 8.20 am until 4.15 pm, Monday to Friday.

Every student’s day is different, as they follow a personalised programme that’s designed around their passions and ambitions.

After school, our young people can choose from more than 90 co-curricular clubs and activities, spend time studying, or hang out with friends.

A typical day

Morning

7.30 - 8.20 am - Breakfast
A healthy breakfast in our main dining hall is the perfect start to the day. On Wednesday mornings, students enjoy a lie-in before taking it in turns to prepare something tasty for their housemates. 
8.20 - 8.35 am - Tutor time
Before lessons, students get together in small groups for tutor time. This is an opportunity to ask questions, discuss timetables and activities, and check in on wellbeing.
8.35 - 10.20 am - Lessons
Our students head to their first lessons of the day.
10.20 - 10.40 am - Morning break
During morning break, students can grab a coffee, enjoy a snack, or simply hang out in the school’s buzzing Café 1910.
10.40 am - 12.25 pm - Lessons
It’s time to head back to class, where our students continue their personalised learning journey.

Afternoon

12.25 – 1.25 pm - Lunch
Whether it’s sitting down for a hot meal or getting a sandwich to go, lunchtime is a chance to either relax or get involved in a sport or activity.
1.25 - 3.10 pm - Lessons
Refreshed and refuelled, our students immerse themselves in the curriculum.
3.10 - 3.25 pm - Afternoon break
It’s time for a breather, as students take a short break, pick up a drink or snack, and refocus.
3.25 - 4.15 pm - Lessons
Guided by our inspirational teachers, our learners enjoy their final lessons of the day.
4.15 - 5.00 pm - Free time
Free time is exactly that – the chance to chill out after a busy day. Students can return to their houses, catch up with friends, or wander into the village. 

After-school / Evening

5.00 - 6.15 pm - After-school activity or study time
From theatre and dance to sports and music, our daily co-curricular programme offers something for everyone. Alternatively, dedicated study time helps students stay on top of their coursework and exam prep.
6.15 - 7.15 pm - Dinner
Dinner is a social occasion, as students get together for a delicious, freshly prepared evening meal.
7.30 - 7.40 pm - House meeting
Daily meetings bring each house together to discuss the week’s schedule, plan weekend activities, and share successes.
7.40 - 9.00 pm - Activity or study time
Practicing an instrument, finalising an article for the school newspaper, or enjoying a game of chess, we ensure our students have as much time as possible to do what they love.
9.00 - 10.00 pm - Free time (Senior students)
Free time for our Senior students means doing as much or as little as they like, whether it’s reading, playing games with friends, or enjoying a hot chocolate with a mountain view.
9.00 - 10.00 pm - Bedtime
After a packed day, our boarders head to their rooms for ‘lights out’. Bedtime varies by age, with our Juniors going to bed at 9.00 pm, Middle School students at 9.30 pm, and Seniors at 10.00 pm.

“Every student’s day is different, as they follow a personalised programme that’s designed around their passions and ambitions.”

Weekends

Weekends at Beau Soleil are filled with opportunities to pursue passions, embrace new experiences, and spend time with friends.

Our schedule varies from week to week, depending on the activities we have planned. These include academic weekends, challenge weekends, house weekends, and exeat (off-campus trips and the chance to visit family) weekends. We also organise Friday night socials and encourage students to spend time in our beautiful village.
