The school year has come to an end, and now it’s time for all our girls to enjoy a well-deserved summer break!

After months of learning, growing, and giving their best, this time off will help them rest, recharge, and get ready for the exciting year ahead.

We also want to send a heartfelt thank you to all the parents – your constant support and involvement have been key throughout the year.

We’re already looking forward to a new school year, full of even more growth, fun, and achievements.

Enjoy your summer, see you very soon! ⛱️

Lots of love,

Portena team! 💖

This past Tuesday marked a special milestone for our youngest girls at Portena, their Middle School graduation!

They’ve worked hard, grown so much, and have now officially closed an important chapter in their lives. We couldn’t be more proud of everything they’ve achieved.

Now, a new adventure begins: High School! It’s a big step, full of new challenges, friendships, and opportunities. We know they’re ready — and we’ll be cheering them on every step of the way.

Congratulations, girls! You make us proud every day 💜✨

Best,

Portena team

We can’t believe the school year is almost over, time has flown by so quickly! This weekend marked the final one of the 2024-2025 academic year. Although there weren’t as many students as usual, those who stayed on campus made the most of the last weekend activities.

The girls from Porteña especially enjoyed participating in Cooking and Tennis, showing off their skills and having a great time together. Today, as a special end-of-year celebration, all the boarders went to Concha’s garden for an epic water-themed party. From fun aquatic games to relaxing by the pool, it was the perfect way to wrap up the year. 🏊🏻‍♀️

We hope next year’s weekend activities are just as successful and full of unforgettable memories!

Tonight was our last dinner together at the house before the end of the school year. To celebrate, we had an American-style meal: burgers, fries, salad, and for dessert, some delicious chocolate-covered donuts. Simple, tasty, and fun!

The girls from Portena sat down to enjoy one final meal all together. They’re definitely going to miss these dinners: sharing stories, eating together, and feeling at home with each other. 😊

This past weekend, our Grade 8 boarding students – including our Portena girls – embarked on an incredible cycling adventure around Lake Léman. After weeks of dedicated training and preparation, the big moment finally arrived, and we’re thrilled to share that everything went perfectly!

From the first push of the pedal to the last breathtaking view along the lakeshore, the students showed determination, teamwork, and resilience. We couldn’t be prouder of them. This trip wasn’t just about cycling; it was about pushing limits, building bonds, and creating memories they’ll carry with them forever.

This past weekend was a special one – thanks to the long weekend, many of our girls took the opportunity to go on mini vacations with their families. For those who stayed at the house, the weather couldn’t have been better! 🌞

On Friday, some of our girls joined a school trip to Chamonix, where they went up to the Aiguille du Midi. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking, a true highlight of the weekend!

Also, Ran, Ami, and Ainhoa had their final cycling training session today in preparation for next weekend’s big cycling journey. We can’t wait to see them in action! 🚵‍♀️

Tonight was dinner night at home, and this time we went with a classic italian dinner: lasagna with a fresh tomato and lettuce salad, and tiramisu for dessert. It was so delicious that the lasagna disappeared in no time, there wasn’t a single piece left!

We really enjoy these dinners, especially now that the weather is nicer and we can eat outside while the sun’s still out. It’s such a nice way to end the day! 🌞

With love,

Portena team 🩷

The first weekend back after April break was full of positive energy. The girls jumped back into activities with enthusiasm, enjoying Cooking, Tennis, Pilates, Badminton and Stretching.

On Saturday, something exciting happened, our Grade 8 girls went on a short cycling practice to prepare for their upcoming challenge: biking all the way around Lake Geneva! The practice went really well, and the girls showed great teamwork and determination. We’re so proud of them and can’t wait to cheer them on when the big day comes!

Portena team ❤️

Dear families,

After two refreshing weeks of spring break, we’re excited to be back! The girls have returned full of energy, ready to make the most of these last two months before the summer holidays.

The break was a wonderful time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with loved ones. Now, with renewed motivation, we’re looking forward to a term full of learning, growth, and fun.

Let’s work together to make this final stretch a great success! Thank you, as always, for your support, we can’t wait to see everything the girls will accomplish before summer arrives! ☀️

As we head into the Easter holidays, we want to wish all our boarders and families a joyful and restful break. This is the perfect time to recharge, spend time with loved ones, and make the most of the last vacation before the end of the school year.

Enjoy every moment and don’t forget to come back full of energy and motivation for the final stretch! Just two months to go—let’s finish strong!

Happy holidays!

Best,

Portena team  💗
