This evening, Riccardo and Yaroslav took over the kitchen to prepare a delicious pasta dish. It wasn’t just about cooking—it was a full Italian experience! With Italian music playing in the background, they learned about the different cooking times for various types of pasta, how a proper Italian boils it to perfection, and what makes a great sauce.

Riccardo was ready to go all in with the sauce, but Yaroslav preferred to keep things simple and went for plain pasta this time. Still, the result was tasty, and we all enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, the music, and the shared laughs around the table.

Let’s see what culinary adventure they’ll take us on next!

Today we went to Geneva with the Terray 27 girls for our first weekend outing of the school year—and what a fantastic way to start! We explored some of the city’s popular shopping spots: Decathlon, Fnac, and Manor, where everyone found something useful or fun to bring back.

But this is just the beginning. With many weekends ahead, we’re excited to keep discovering everything this amazing city has to offer. Geneva is so close to us, yet there’s always something new to see, taste, or experience.

To top off the day, we treated ourselves to some delicious Italian ice cream. It was the perfect sweet ending to a great first adventure in Geneva!

After collecting our school uniforms, PE clothes, and iPads, we headed out for an afternoon full of excitement and laughter. Together with the Terray 27 girls and other boarding houses, we had the chance to enjoy some amazing activities by Lake Léman and at Concha.

At the lake, the highlight was definitely the banana boat! We had so much fun riding the waves, holding on tight, and laughing as our new friends tumbled into the water with every twist and turn. It was a great way to bond and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Later at Concha, the fun continued with a series of energetic and hilarious activities. We tried sumo wrestling in inflatable costumes, battled it out in a tug of war on a bouncy surface, and rolled around in giant inflatable hamster balls. The whole afternoon was filled with smiles, teamwork, and lots of laughter.

It was a fantastic way to spend time with Terray 27 and meet students from other boarding houses. We’re already looking forward to the next adventure!

Dear all,

The Boarding House is now open and we are eager to meet our new students, and welcome back some familiar faces!

Dear all,

This weekend marked our final one in the house for this year, and we made the most of it!
On Saturday, a few of the Juniors headed into Geneva for a bit of exploration and some (much-needed?) last-minute shopping.

Then on Sunday, the entire boarding community came together for the End of Year Party. The boys had an amazing time — a perfect way to wrap up the year on a high note!
