Burgers night!

Dear all,

Today we enjoyed some burgers as our last dinner at home of the year.
To go with them, we had fries, and some toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion. For dessert, some chocolate doughnuts.

A fun fact about this classic American food:
The best burger in the world in 2024, according to the international ranking The World’s Best Burgers, is the Singular from the Spanish chain Hundred Burgers. This award, considered the equivalent of a “Michelin Guide” for burgers, has been given for the first time to a non-American burger joint, highlighting the quality and craftsmanship of Hundred Burgers.

Dear all,

The CDB lads pushed themselves to the limit over the past few days, and even more so on the final stretch of their cycling adventure, and the pride on their faces said it all. This journey was more than just a ride—it was a lesson in grit, and discovering just what you’re truly capable of.

A massive shoutout to Mr. Mike for making this experience possible through his tireless efforts. Also, a big thanks to all those who accompanied them on this journey!

We are all massively proud of the boys and their incredible accomplishment!

A Slice of Summer

Dear all,

While our Middle Schoolers were off on their cycling adventure around Lac Léman, life on campus was anything but quiet. With the summer breeze in the air, how could it be?

On Saturday, the boys of CDB and the girls of Terray rolled up their sleeves for some baking fun, followed by a shopping trip into Versoix. The day wrapped up perfectly with a cosy Movie Night. Sunday brought a splash of excitement—literally—as everyone headed to the Concha Swimming Pool for a refreshing and laughter-filled afternoon.

To cap off the weekend, we created a beautiful montage of memories from the past year. Soon to be displayed in our hallway, it’s a heartfelt tribute to the moments we’ve shared and the journey we’ve taken together.

American Dinner!

Dear all,

Tonight, we enjoyed an American-themed dinner, and it definitely hit the spot. We had pork and chicken ribs, nicely marinated and full of flavor, along with breaded jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese for a spicy little kick. On the side, there were rosemary roasted baby potatoes, coleslaw, and Caesar salad. And of course, we finished with ice cream for dessert!

American cuisine brings together influences from all over the world, with regional styles from places like the South, the Midwest, or the coasts. Barbecue ribs are a great example—slow-cooked and full of smoky flavor, they’re a favorite in many U.S. states.

Did you know the U.S. has over 600,000 restaurants? It’s a country where food trends spread fast, but comfort food like ribs, potatoes, and salads always stays strong.

Sun, Splashes, and Spokes

Dear all,

This past weekend was nothing short of spectacular at Champs des Bois!

The highlight? The grand opening of the Concha pool! From Friday through Sunday, the pool became our haven of fun and relaxation. The kids dived into various activities, including relay races, frisbee games, and even a wonderful match of water football. Laughter echoed as everyone enjoyed the refreshing waters and bonded over shared moments.

But the excitement didn’t stop there. In preparation for the upcoming Léman Journey, our dedicated cyclists took to the scenic routes to Coppet for training sessions. Their commitment is truly commendable, and it’s inspiring to see their enthusiasm and performance grow with each ride.

Beyond the pool and cycling, the weekend was filled with plenty of activities that kept everyone engaged and energized, such as tennis, cooking or badminton!

Thai Night!

Dear all,

Tonight, we had the chance to enjoy a Thai dinner full of flavour and color. From the first bite to the last, it was all about the perfect mix of sweet, salty, spicy, and sour—everything Thai food is known for.

Thai cuisine uses a lot of fresh ingredients like lemongrass, lime, chili, coconut milk, and herbs like Thai basil and coriander. Dishes often mix different textures too—crunchy, creamy, soft, and chewy—all in one plate!

Did you know Thailand is home to over 40,000 temples? It’s also the only Southeast Asian country that was never colonized, and that strong cultural identity really shows in their food. Street food is a big part of daily life there—Pad Thai, sticky rice with mango, and green curry are just a few of the favourites.
