Gingerbread House Competition
We presented today our most precious weekend treasure, the girls participated in a festive gingerbread house competition. Armed with icing, candy, and plenty of enthusiasm, they set to work crafting their edible masterpieces.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing—getting the walls to stick together proved trickier than expected, with a few wobbly moments and plenty of sticky fingers. But with teamwork, patience, and a sprinkle of creativity, the girls overcame the challenges and proudly brought their gingerbread house to life.
The end result was a delightful display of holiday spirit and collaboration, proving once again that a little persistence can lead to something truly sweet. Bravo to all the participants! 🎄🍬
A Weekend Well-Spent at the Boarding House
Weekends at the boarding house are always a delightful mix of activity and relaxation, and this one was no exception. We ended the week enjoying an amazing Greek dinner at home all together, we always love this time when we have the chance to share about how our week has been and share some laughs.
For the weekend Emma and Valentina had fun at the tennis session, enjoying some friendly matches. For those looking to tone and strengthen, the body-shaping and stretching classes offered an energizing way to start the day, leaving everyone feeling refreshed and accomplished, Marina and Sofja know well about it.
Anna and Sofiia enjoyed learning a new delicious recipe of chicken that hopefully they will cook soon for us.
This perfect blend of active pursuits and communal moments is what makes weekends in the boarding house so special—a chance to unwind, bond, and share in the joys of living and growing together.

A cozy weekend in the House
This week brought the first snowflakes of the season, turning the chilly air into a perfect backdrop for cozy indoor activities. Emma and Valentina kicked things off with a fun baking session, making delicious chocolate chip cookies that filled the house with warmth.
The cold didn’t stop the girls from enjoying their activities, bodyshapping, tennis and stretching were the chosen this weekend.
But there was also time to relax with a crossword puzzle, part of the House competition, working together to solve it. It was a weekend full of simple joys—cookies, sports, and quiet moments—that made the first cold weekend a cozy time for us.
Lots of love,
Yewande & Aida
Another triumph at Volleyball for Vale
Valentina and her volleyball team celebrated a thrilling victory this week at a tournament celebrated in the Swiss town of Leysin. The competition, which brought together teams from the region, tested both skill and teamwork.
For Valentina, the win was about more than just the trophy—it was about the bonds she had built with her teammates.
Looking ahead, Valentina and her teammates are already focused on future challenges, knowing that their hard work has laid the foundation for even greater success. But for now, they’re savoring their moment as champions of Leysin.
Congratulations to Valentina and her team!
Lots of love,
Aida & Yewande
November Fitness Challenge
As the autumn air settles in and the days grow shorter, the girls of our boarding house have found a thrilling way to spice up the month of November: the November Fitness Challenge. It’s become an exhilarating daily ritual, where each day presents a new fitness task, and the atmosphere is charged with passion, determination, and a healthy dose of competition.
The November Fitness Challenge is about so much more than just breaking a sweat. It’s a celebration of each girl’s strength, determination, and the joy of pushing boundaries together. As the days go by, we can’t wait to see how much further our girls will go. If there’s one thing we are learning this month, it’s that anything is possible when you have the right mindset—and an awesome group of people cheering you on every step of the way.
Lots of love,
Aida & Yewande
Strategies for Autumn: no time to be bored
Autumn has arrived, the leaves are starting to fall, it is no longer warm and the weather invites us to look for other things to enjoy this time of the year. The girls have taken advantage of this weekend to be more in the house, but without getting bored! The girls have been making homemade biscuits, practising concentration and patience in building flowers with lego and have found time to try impossible tiktoks, but always with lots of fun.
We have had a great weekend and we are almost thinking about the holidays.
Lots of Love,
Aida & Yewande
Mountain weekend
We have had an amazing weekend in the mountains. Verbier was our destination for a weekend together and we had a great time.
But there was also time to socialise, spend time with new friends and enjoy a different kind of weekend.
First weekend in the House
The first weekend of the year and we already feel at home!!
The girls have enjoyed a great weekend tidying and decorating their rooms and getting to know each other; already the vibes of the house are amazing.
There was time for everything, a bit of active life doing bodyshapping, pilates and stretching, our Sunday brunch to recover some energy and Saturday Movie night to chill and relax sharing popcorn, homemade strawberries with chocolate and ice cream.
No doubt it is just the beginning of a wonderful year!
Lots of love,
Yewande & Aida
