Fit, Funny & Fully Boarding 💥🏋‍♀🧘🏽‍♀️💪🏼

What a weekend!

Vale started things off with some wakeboarding and even though she’s done it before, she had an absolute blast out there. Emma followed with a calming stretching session, and Marina powered through a bodyshaping class (go Marina!).

We also kicked off our May Fitness Challenge, and it’s already bringing out everyone’s energy and team spirit. Friday’s challenge was pull-ups. Vale gave it a try and nearly got one—so close! We love seeing that determination.

On Saturday, the goal was to do as many jumping jacks as possible. With some enthusiastic encouragement from Vale and Mo, Marcela pushed through and hit 65. Such a great moment!

 

And today, we switched it up with a creative twist: make a TikTok. Emma and Étoile jumped in and filmed a short, funny one that had us all laughing.

Can’t wait to see what next week brings!

Lots of Love,

A Glimpse into the World of Active, Ambitious Girls

Life in a girls’ boarding house is anything but dull. Every day brings a mix of energy, focus, and camaraderie. From early morning workouts to late-night study sessions, these young women juggle academics, fitness, and friendships with impressive grace.

Ther was time during this weekend for everything, all of the girls quite focused on studying, but also time to play some tennis, do som stretching or bodyshapping.

As exam season approaches, the mood shifts. The library becomes the heartbeat of the boarding house. Students gather around tables, notes spread wide, highlighters in hand, supporting one another through the pressure of revision. Quiet determination fills the room, mixed with whispered encouragement and shared snacks.

Together, these girls are building more than just good grades—they’re building resilience, independence, and lifelong friendships.

This Week in the House 🍽️🍏❄️

It’s been a sweet and social week around here!

On Tuesday, we kicked things off with a lovely dinner together in the house — always a nice chance to slow down and catch up midweek.

Yesterday’s highlight was the International Dinner of the Week, and this time we took a culinary trip to Russia! A big thanks to everyone who helped bring the flavors (and warmth!) of Russian cuisine to our table.

And to end the week on a sweet note, today Marcela, Marusya, and I got a bit creative in the kitchen and made an apple crumble. Served warm with a scoop of ice cream — simple, classic, and totally delicious.

Here’s to more good food and great company! 💛

Lots of Love,

A Whirlwind Weekend: Cheesecake, Candy Floss & Core Work

This weekend was a perfect mix of indulgence and activity in the house! Etoile, Emma, and I rolled up our sleeves in the kitchen and whipped up a Biscoff salted caramel cheesecake—and wow, it was a hit! The girls loved it, and it didn’t last long once word got out. There’s something special about sharing homemade treats that brings everyone together.

Meanwhile, Sofiia and Sofja had a fun outing to Luna Park in Geneva. They braved the rides and came back all smiles (and slightly sticky) after tackling some seriously giant candy floss.

Back at the house, it was a fitness-filled weekend too—Vale and Emma headed off to Pilates, Sofja squeezed in a gym session, and Marina went to bodyshaping. Balance, right?

It’s always nice to see everyone doing their thing, whether that’s getting active, relaxing, or enjoying good food. Here’s to more weekends like this one!

Lots of Love,

An active weekend

This weekend, our girls made the most of their time off with different activities that not only challenged them physically but also helped them unwind and recharge for the upcoming week.

 

First up, Marina was all about body shaping. She dedicated her Saturday to a full-body workout session with a mix of strength training and cardio. She made it a point to challenge herself with some new exercises. It was a great way for her to release stress and feel empowered, and she’s excited to continue with her fitness journey.

Sofiia, on the other hand, found her active moment at the tennis courts. She relished the chance to improve her serve and footwork while enjoying some healthy competition. It’s not just about the sport for Sofiia; it’s also about the laughter and camaraderie that comes with it.

Lastly, Anna set out on a solo running adventure early Sunday morning. She loves the freedom running offers, and this weekend she pushed herself to complete a new personal best on her usual route. Running gives her a sense of clarity and peace, and she often uses this time to clear her mind or listen to her favorite podcasts. The fresh air and calm atmosphere made for the perfect way to start the day.

Whether it’s shaping up, hitting the tennis court, or running solo, each of the girls embraced their individual activities, making the most of the weekend to stay fit, have fun, and foster a sense of personal achievement.

Talent Showdown: We Came, We Performed, We Conquered! 💃🕺🏆

Tuesday night was pure magic! We hit the stage for the annual boarding talent show, and let me tell you—these girls gave it everything they had. After weeks of rehearsals, endless inside jokes, and a few moments of “wait, what’s the next move again?”—they absolutely nailed it.

And the best part? We walked away with second place! But honestly, the real win was seeing their hard work, teamwork, and sheer joy come to life on stage. I couldn’t be prouder of them—not just for the performance, but for the way they supported each other through it all.

Brookies, Backhands & Bodyshaping – A Weekend Well Spent! 🍪🎾💪

This weekend was a sweet success—literally! Etoile, Sofiia, and Sofja joined me in the kitchen to whip up a batch of delicious brookies (brownie-cookie magic!), which the whole house enjoyed with a glass of milk.

Anna, Sofiia, and Valentina showed off their skills on the tennis court, while Marina powered through a bodyshaping session.

Everyone stayed active, balanced, and well-fed—what more could we ask for? Looking forward to another fun-filled week ahead! 🚀

Lots of Love,

Serving Up Success: A Weekend of Wins & Celebrations! 🎉🏐

What a weekend! We kicked things off by celebrating International Women’s Day with a homemade cake, bringing everyone together for a sweet and meaningful moment. Etoile, Emma, and Marce also had a special dinner with a former student and were surprised with roses—such a lovely way to mark the occasion!

Sunday was all about movement and energy. Marina and Marcela took on body shaping, Emma focused on stretching, Sofja hit the gym, and Anna and Sofiia enjoyed a tennis match.
And the biggest highlight—Valentina and her team won the SGIS CAT.A & B Girls Volleyball Tournament! A huge congratulations to them for their hard work and amazing performance!

A weekend filled with fun, fitness, and fantastic achievements—well done, everyone! 💪🏆🎉
