Welcome Back at Champs des Bois!

We’re back from the October break, and we’re feeling more recharged than ever! After a well-deserved rest, everyone has returned to campus with big smiles and plenty of energy, ready to jump back into classes and activities.

The kids came back so happy, bringing along some special treats, souvenirs, and stories from their home countries. It’s been such a joy to watch them sharing little pieces of their cultures with each other, from delicious snacks to small gifts and fun tales of their time at home.

Champs des Bois is so alive with all the laughter, stories, and excitement about being back together. We’re all looking forward to this new part of the term, and we can’t wait to see what new memories we’ll create along the way!

First Weekend of October!

Dear all,

For the first weekend of October, we had a full schedule of activities here at CDL!

On Saturday morning, the boys enjoyed a variety of exciting activities, including tennis, badminton, football, and cooking. In the afternoon, some of us took a trip to Geneva for shopping. Since most of them were eager for chocolate, we visited the Lindt store to pick up some delicious sweets, and then we treated ourselves to ice cream on the main avenue.

On Sunday, we had planned to visit an adventure park, but due to the weather, we decided to stay at the Boarding House. We enjoyed some engaging games together and finished the day by watching Raya and the Last Dragon.

It was a weekend full of fun and great moments!

Spanish Dinner!

Tonight, we had the chance to enjoy some amazing traditional Spanish food, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience for everyone. The night was full of good vibes, delicious dishes and incredible music!

The cooking team prepared some classic Spanish favorites like paella, chorizo, chicken, and catalonian cream.

As a Spanish, I can genuinely say it was incredible—it really made me feel at home!

Champs des Bois – Dream Team

Dear all,

As House Parents, we’ve always known that our boys are talented in many activities, but we didn’t expect to find such amazing football players here in the Champs des Bois!

This week, we encouraged them to play football after dinner, and we were shocked by their skills! Each of them showed impressive footwork, bringing to mind the legendary ‘Galácticos’ of Real Madrid or Arsenal’s unbeatable ‘Invincibles’.

We always enjoy playing different sports together, but this football match was especially fun.

Check out the photos below—you’ll see we almost look like a real All-Star team! And just look at Donny’s face, you can really see how excited he was!

Memorable Weekend in Leysin – Swiss Alps!

On Friday, September 6th, the entire Champ des Bois house, along with the Boarding team, embarked on an weekend adventure in Leysin, nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps!

Saturday was a perfect day for hiking, where we not only enjoyed the incredible scenery and sun but also learned fascinating facts about the mountains and the local culture. Sunday brought a creative twist, as the children spent the morning blending art with nature—what more could we ask for?

Now it’s time to rest and get ready for the exciting Discovering Days ahead!

A Wonderful Start to the School Year!

Dear all,

As the new House Tutor of Champs Des Bois, I’m excited to share how smoothly the first days of the new school year have gone! The students have settled in warmly, quickly adapting to their new routines and filling our halls with excitement and lots of energy.

What’s truly heartwarming is seeing how well they’ve bonded. Even though they come from completely different corners of the world, they’ve formed close friendships almost instantly. It’s amazing to see them learning from each other, sharing their cultures, languages, traditions, and passions. This exchange is not only enriching their experience but also creating a warm and inclusive community.

We also had the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic dinner with the Swiss Day as a theme, where we savored some delicious traditional Swiss dishes. It was a wonderful way for everyone to come together and experience a bit of Swiss culture, and the students loved trying new foods and learning about the local traditions.

In the attached photos you will see Mr. Alex, Nuttakit, Donny, Xingyu and Ethan having fun after the Swiss meal! I’m so proud of how well they’ve embraced this opportunity to connect and grow together. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead, you can be sure!
