Fully Booked!

What’s one way to go on an adventure without taking a single step?

Picking up a good book!

Reading is an immensely enriching experience that helps our boys explore new worlds, ideas and, of course, vocabulary.

Javier traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1965 with some greasers, Adrian made his way to Surrey Street in Plainview, Massachussets with the Wimpy Kid and I found myself in Alagaesia with a bunch of dragon riders.

Some new words from today’s reading include: antiquities, meteor, pacifier, dazed, archeologist and muttered.

Fright Night!

As I unfortunately missed Halloween with the boys – which happens to be my all time favorite holiday! – I made up for it by taking the lads out this evening for a spooky evening walk in the woods near by.

We trekked down the road and headed into the woods, where everyone turned off their flashlights and set off on an a little dark adventure. We traversed tunnels, crossed bridges, sang some songs, stepped in puddles and got a little muddy, but what fun it was!

Loving that blurry aesthetic. Blurry smiles, but smiles nonetheless.

Sweet Start to the Weekend: It’s Pancake Saturday! 🥞

Another weekend in the Concha Boarding House that starts in a sweet way: pancakes! 🤩🥞

Mr Tarun got everything needed to prepare the best pancakes the kids could have ever tried, from flour and milk to different toppings to make the pancakes tastier. While sitting around the table, we shared experiences and fun holiday stories. This is a nice way to connect with one another and discover new yet unknown aspects of each one of us. 😇

As you might know, in the Concha Boarding House we are a bunch of foodies. That is the reason why we are thinking of preparing a more Swiss-style food evening in the house… You will see, it’s on the works! 🤫

P.S.: By the way, it’s all of us in the house again! Rodrigo just arrived today from his autumn break. After having some lovely weeks of holidays between Mexico and the United States, he has enough energy to keep on being the brilliant student he was before the break! 💪🏻

Mr Tarun was so concentrated while making the pancakes!

Look at this crew! 🤪

Welcome back Rodri!

Spooky Season is Upon Us!

Our Concha kids celebrated Halloween in style! We started with a delicious fondue dinner, bringing warmth and smiles. Then, they unleashed their creativity by carving spooky pumpkins, now proudly displayed for all to see. Finally, dressed in their best costumes, they went trick-or-treating, sharing treats and making memories. A night full of festive fun!

Carving pumpkins is a team mission

Who’s that in the back 👻

As October Falls

Have a look at a few photos from the last few days of October.

As the fog rolls in and the leaves begin to tumble, the house starts to get cozier and cozier.

Back Into the Flow of Things!

The Concha boys are back and diving into study hall, bringing a fresh focus and energy to the house. It’s great to see everyone settling in, supporting each other, and returning to the rhythm. Here’s to a productive term ahead—let’s keep this momentum going!

 

Tanzania Mania!

This Fall break three of our boys, Jiarui, Eduardo and Enrique went on an adventure across Tanzania!

Not only did they explore their beautiful surroundings, they also helped the community and learned some new skills in the process.

Have A Lovely Autumn Break!

Dear all,

We would like to wish you all an excellent break!

To our Boys: Get plenty of rest so that you’re back fully recharged and raring to go! The second half of this semester is going to be awesome!

To our Parents: We wish you an enjoyable holiday with your son! It has been a pleasure having him with us these busy last 7 weeks.
