Slopes, Skates, and Winter Escapes ⛷️⛸️ ❄️

This weekend, the senior boarders traded books for snow gear and headed off to Crans-Montana for an unforgettable ski weekend. It was the perfect escape to embrace winter and make memories together.

Emma, Etoile, Marcela, and Valentina spent the weekend flying down the ski slopes, soaking in the views and the thrill of the ride. There were plenty of laughs, a few tumbles, and that unbeatable feeling of conquering a tough run.

Meanwhile, Sofiia, Sofja, Anna, and Marina opted for a different kind of winter fun. They spent their time gliding gracefully (and sometimes not-so-gracefully!) across the ice rink. Their laughter and attempts at synchronized skating added an extra layer of joy to the weekend.

It was a weekend full of fresh air, good vibes, and moments we’ll all be talking about for a while. Winter really does bring the best kind of adventures!

Lots of love,

Aida & Yewande

An Enchanted Winter Evening 🎄⋆⁺₊❅.⋆𐙚❅*°⋆❆.ೃ࿔*:

The winter chill couldn’t hold a candle to the warmth and joy that filled the room during our annual Boarding Winter Ball. It was a night of laughter, connection, and celebration—a time to come together and savor the magic of our community as we wrapped up an unforgettable semester.

The evening kicked off with a feast that brought us all to the table—delicious food and lively conversation setting the perfect tone for the night. Everyone looked stunning, dressed in their finest, and the room was alive with smiles and laughter that felt like the true heart of the season.
Etoile and Anna stole the spotlight with their heartfelt speeches. They spoke beautifully about what makes our boarding community so special—the friendships, the shared memories, and the way we lift each other up. Their words touched us all, reminding us why this community feels like home.

Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for—Emma and Etoile took the DJ booth by storm. Their playlist was a hit, and it wasn’t long before the dance floor was packed. Everyone let loose, dancing and laughing together in a way that felt like pure joy. The music brought us closer, and the night felt like a celebration of everything we’ve shared this semester.

The Winter Ball was a night to let go, celebrate each other, and create memories that we’ll carry with us long after the music fades. Here’s to the love, resilience, and unity that make this place so special. And here’s to many more nights like this one!

Lots of Love,

Tis the Season for Laughter and Chocolate 🎁🎁🎁

The holiday spirit truly came alive in our boarding house during our in-house Christmas party! It was the perfect way for the girls to take a break from studying and share some festive cheer before heading off for the holidays.

One of the best moments of the night was our Secret Santa gift exchange. The excitement was palpable as everyone unwrapped their gifts, revealing just how much thought and care went into choosing each one. The room was filled with surprise and laughter.

We also had a blast with our “Most Likely to overpack for a weekend trip ” to “Most Likely to make a joke at the worst time” the awards were a hilarious and heartwarming way to celebrate everyone’s unique personalities. The laughter and cheering were contagious, reminding us of just how special our community is.

 

To top off the festivities, we celebrated the Escalade by breaking the traditional chocolate pot. Etoile and Marusya did the honours, enthusiastically smashing the pot—but not without hurting their hands in the process, which was hilariously memorable. With a resounding “Ainsi périssent les ennemis de la République!” we shared pieces of the delicious chocolate as a symbol of unity and tradition. It was a sweet ending to a joyful evening.

The treats were delicious and the whole night was brimming with warmth and joy. It’s moments like these that make our boarding house feel like a true home away from home.

Lots of Love,

Aida & Yewande

 

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.

Marcela and Etoile Conquer the Escalade

Today Geneva’s streets buzzed with energy as the Course de l’Escalade brought together runners from all walks of life. Among them were two young women, Etoile and Marcela who embraced the challenge with determination and shared excitement, embodying the spirit of this beloved annual tradition.

 

We have had many CDL students running through Geneva’s historic Old Town today, among them our girls. For them, the race wasn’t just about physical endurance—it was about camaraderie and celebrating their journey together. Crossing the finish line, they carried with them not only the joy of achievement but the pride of being part of such a vibrant community event.

The Course de l’Escalade once again proved that it’s more than just a race; it’s a celebration of resilience, friendship, and the shared spirit of Geneva. Bravo to all who took part!
