In our house we have a lot of chess players and a lot of them took part in the College du Leman chess championship that took part in the house as well.

7 of our students took part in the tournament, being a big majority of the participants.

The finals were between two of our students, Nursulton and Saarthak, with Saarthak coming out victorious.

CONGRATS SAARTHAK!!!

And congratulations to everyone else who took part in it!

We sincerely hope our students will continue following this passion and take part in the upcoming Nord Anglia Education tournament.

In the heart of our cozy boarding house, nestled amongst the Alps, a passion has taken root and continues to flourish – the love for climbing! Metaphorically and literally our students are climbing new heights, achieving better grades, and scaling indoor climbing walls.
But this post is about their love of literal climbing, in this house there exists a dedicated group of students that go climbing every week, either on weekdays or weekends, usually accompanied by one of our own house parent, Mr. Rodrigo, who initiated the love for the sport. Every time this experience leaves our students with smiles and excitement for their next climb, always being proud of their new personal record and how high they can reach. It is heartwarming to see them exercise their strength and perseverance with such passion.
May their passion flourish and may they be able to reach anything their mind sets as a goal.

The first weekend back at the boarding house after the holidays can be a bittersweet experience. You’ve had the joy of reuniting with family and friends, indulging in home-cooked meals, and enjoying the comforts of home. However, as you return to the familiar routines and camaraderie of your boarding house, you have to readjust which can be demanding. Mixed emotions and valuable life lessons are plenty in this weekend.

The boarders participated in the weekend activities with enthusiasm and joy. They played chess, handball, and tennis, ran, talked about history, climbed, cooked éclairs, and visited a chocolate factory. In the night after studying some students with the memories of their home country fresh in their hearts, decided to cook one of their country’s dessert, brigadeiro, and share it with everyone.

The holiday break is officially over, and our boarding house is once again abuzz with the joyful return of our boarders, with a renewed sense of excitement our students found their way back to their home away from home. The reunion of our students was filled with happiness, laughter, and sharing experiences about their trips, like the school trip to Vietnam and Cambodia.

After weeks of relaxation and exploration during the break, returning to a structured routine can be challenging. However, our boarders are quick to adapt and integrate into boarding life quickly once more. While technology allows them to stay in touch during the break, nothing compares to the joy of reuniting with friends in person. They laughed, gossiped, and played with their friends in and out of the house.
