On Sunday afternoon, we held our annual Sports House Competition, and we’re thrilled to report that our Franconis boys delivered an incredible performance, winning five out of the six sports and games they participated in. This outstanding achievement was made possible through their teamwork and tremendous effort. Their families, friends, and House Parents can take pride in their dedication, which clearly demonstrates their camaraderie and commitment to the House and Boarding community. Here are some photos we captured during this afternoon’s event:

Today, on the 30th of August, we joyfully celebrated Meylis’s 18th birthday in our cherished house. We came together as a family and relished a delectable cake, specially crafted to honor this special occasion.

Happy birthday Meylis!

Our students are settling pretty well in their routines and they have also had the chance to enjoy different activities.

Al joined the Horse Riding group and enjoyed the time with the animals.

Jeff and his peers challenging each other in different board games at the house.

The rainy days gather up many colleagues of our students in our house. We played games, watched movies and had pizzas.

In the mean time, Meylis was going through more strategic challenges at the chess club.

We also had students preforming their SAT exams. Well done boys.

In these initial days, our fresh arrivals at Franconis Boarding House, alongside a few returning CDL students, have been delighting in their newfound family.

They’ve been acquainting themselves with one another, forging connections that will undoubtedly blossom over time. Beyond our walls, they’ve also been immersing themselves in the beauty of Geneva.

Engaging in a diverse array of activities, including treasure hunts, escape rooms, and insightful inductions, they’ve been embracing every moment of their introduction to life at Franconis.

Here, we share some of the moments we’ve captured – moments of pure enjoyment, uniquely their own:

It fills us with joy to extend a warm welcome to these new members of our tight-knit Franconis family. With pride, we usher them into our esteemed community at Collège du Léman.

Following a brief yet enjoyable summer break, Villa Franconis Boarding House is now fully prepared to extend a warm welcome to our incoming students. With the arrival of Mr. Xavi and Mr. Nacho as our new House Parents, we are eagerly anticipating the commencement of the new academic year. Their enthusiasm and energy are sure to set a positive tone for the course ahead.

After an absolute whirlwind of a year, we have reached the end.

And what a year it has been!

I am incredibly grateful to have had all of you boys in the house, filled with laughter, fun and warmth.

I hope you all have an incredible summer!

Karim, Nadim, Omar, Jules, Jonathan & Nihad – Congratulations!

It felt like yesterday that we welcomed you into Franconis and this morning it made me incredibly proud to see you on stage, throwing your caps into the air.

Ad Astra!

A tassle is worth the hassle!

It was lovely having Nadim and Nihad’s families over in Franconis after the Parents Cocktail!

While not technically a boarding assembly, it was lovely having all the boys together one last time in Eiger.

On our way, on time and looking good (as always)

While under both the rain and sun, we enjoyed a lovely dinner together here at home.
