The awaited photo of the house has arrived, a photo for posterity, here we leave you a preview behind the cameras, when we have the official photos we will share them immediately with you.

Another weekend has passed for our boarders in Olympus.

Over this weekend the students participated in many different activities, keeping them active and entertained. Some participated in regular weekend activities such as Tennis, Climbing, or Stretching whilst others discovered newer activities like padel tennis or Rafting.

These different activities helped to procure a weekend of discovery and entertainment.

Today we had a very special visit, the teachers came by the boarding house to say hello, a good moment to have a relaxed chat, share a snack, or play a game of pool.

We love these visits!

Another weekend full of activities, some of them are regular, golf, tennis, cooking, and allow us to improve our skills.

Others however bring new challenges and allow us to explore other abilities, for example, padel or karting. These were undoubtedly very popular with our more adventurous kids.

Back to the court! The basketball boarding league has already started, and the first game was the big derby, Olympus versus Leman, without a doubt a difficult game with a lot at stake, we are very happy to tell you that it was our first game and we have achieved our first victory.

But the most important thing is to celebrate with our rivals and the referees (many thanks to Mme. Perrine and Mr. Spencer) that we had a great time playing basketball.

Finally, it’s time for that moment we love so much at the beginning of the year, the Mountain Weekend!

This weekend the whole boarding community enjoyed different activities in two magnificent villages: Fiesch and Verbier.

We have been able to practice activities such as glacier hiking, via Ferrata, mountain biking, rope course, or laser tag, among other games.

Without a doubt, this experience helped us to get to know other boarders better and to share good moments with them in a wonderful environment.

Going to a boarding school in Switzerland gives students a great chance to learn French, a language spoken by millions of people around the world.

To help our boarders learn French in a fun and easy way, Mr Ishaan has started putting French word labels on different items around the house. This means while grabbing a “pomme” (apple) or sitting on a “chaise” (chair), students can learn new words every day!

Plus, one night a week, we’re making house time extra special by speaking only in French. This gives everyone a chance to practice what they’ve learned and chat with friends in a new language.

By learning French, students can make new friends, discover French books and movies, and feel more at home in Switzerland. So let’s have fun learning French together!

Weekends at boarding are far from ordinary. Imagine starting your day paddleboarding on the beautiful waters of the lake, before heading into historic Geneva to explore the sights. On Sunday you might play some tennis in the morning after a delicious brunch, before taking part in the House Competition with your friends and then going on a walk through the forest.

There are always plenty of opportunities available at the weekends and this one was no different. We had, fitness, badminton, ping-pong, tennis, cooking, wood crafting, climbing, paddleboarding, horse riding, running, dance, golf, stretching, chess club, nature walks, and swimming to choose from!

Hello, everyone!

Before the school bell rings, before we dive into our books and lessons, our boarding house comes alive with laughter and games. You see, here, we believe in more than just study; we believe in becoming a family.

We played many team games. Some made us think, others made us laugh, and a few even made us run around like children in a park! The goal? Simple. To know each other, to trust, to become more than just roommates – to become teammates, friends, and family.

For example, the Human Knot game. We stood in a circle, held hands with two different people, and tried to untangle without letting go. It was a mess at first! But, little by little, with communication and patience, we found our way out. A lot like life, no?

These games were more than just fun. They showed us that even if we come from different places, speak different languages, or like different things, at the end of the day, we are all here together. As one family in our boarding house.

We hope to have a great year here in Olympus, and we invite all of you to be part of it, please, follow and enjoy with us our adventures during this amazing year.

Greats from the Olympus team

Gordon, Apollon, and Rodrigo.

We are back! We hope you had a wonderful holiday, and we are already back preparing for your arrival. We look forward to sharing our stories with you.

From Sunday the new students will be discovering the house and the campus, and during the rest of the week, the others will be arriving, ready for a great year?
