Here’s a little snapshot of how this last week has been.

With all the smiles, meals and quality time spent together, there’s also been some unmade beds, some forgetfulness and some general silliness, but that’s all a part of the process.

Our New Arrivals!

Couldn’t resist getting a first day of school shot of Joe and Joao, despite them being in Léman now

A bright and lovely Sunday to finish the week

Today, our Middle School lads plus Efe and Ege departed on a voyage across the lake to visit the picturesque town of Yvoire, in France.

Today our boys had their first busy Saturday!

While weekends are indeed for rest, it’s also important to use all that extra time to head outside, stay active or develop a new skill, and as such, we offer a really wide array of activities.

Today we had the privilege to celebrate Nuttakit’s 14th birthday!

It was especially lovely as this was the first birthday celebration of the academic year.

Nuttakit looking good with his fresh haircut. Bon Appetit!

As a new school year begins, we are excited to welcome our new Concha lads and welcome back our returning legends!

Today we had the privilege of celebrating Firdavs 15th birthday!

It was a lovely day filled with balloons, a lovely cake made by Fanbo and Martin (with the guidance of Fanyang) and – at the request of the birthday boy – an evening of flashlight tag!

This morning myself and the boys went on a beautiful Sunday morning bike ride as part of the training for the Leman Journey Adventure!

A little informational session about safety from Mr. Mike!

And away we go!

This lovely, sunny Saturday, I took Emir, Eduardo and Henrique away into town to handle some basic errands. Our initial journey took a longer turn once I found out that they basically only knew one street in town: Rue de Rive…

What started with a quick jaunt up through the old town over to Parc des Bastions ended at the Jardin Botanique! We walked over 22,000 steps (Emir said that’s the most he’s walked in one day in his life!)

You can juuuuust see us

I wonder what put such lovely smiles on their face?

After all the times over the last two years that his mother recommended for him to come here, Emir finally visited the UN!

Today we had the privilege of celebrating Fanyang’s 16th birthday!

He had a lovely day, with balloons in the morning, a lovely early dinner with some of his close friends in afternoon, and a surprise cake with the Concha lads in the evening!

Some early morning wishes

A lovely dinner in Geneva!

We had the cherry cake for the first time, it was delicious!

Another evening of reading goes by!
