After having enjoyed a wonderful weekend with his family, Aryan has returned to the boarding house and we have celebrated his birthday with the CDL family.

Happy Birthday Aryan and many more to come!

This weekend we had a lot of activities as usual. Our boys have decided to participate in tennis, cooking sushi, climbing, running, basketball, boxing, Pilates and eSports. Some of them are still trying Pilates or boxing and seem to like it because they keep returning. In eSports, they continue to train in both Fortnite and Fifa.

Saturday was a stunning day; we could take advantage of the lake and do water activities. Our guys were able to participate in the banana boat and they had a good laugh with the falls of their friends and seeing how long they lasted in the curves of the ship.

We are pleased to see our boys making good use of the nice weather to enjoy some outdoor activities : chill tennis with friends and a football match against the Olympus boys ! Summer is coming !

The 22nd of April was Mother Earth Day and in Boarding we wanted to do our bit for this cause. This year the initiative was the Boarding vs plastic. Therefore, in the video, you can find some very interesting and shocking facts about the issue.

It’s time to protect our world and get down to work to clean it up and take care of it.

It was another lovely weekend on campus with a lot of the Léman participating in some of the exciting activities we have on our offer.

The boys had the opportunity to take part in Tennis, Cooking, Climbing, Running, Golf, The Trampoline Park, Chess, and many more…..

Today we celebrated the birthday of one of our boys, Jason.

We are very excited that this year he had the experience of a birthday in Leman.

From all of us at Leman: Happy birthday and we hope you had a wonderful day.

This Easter break, we set off on an exciting adventure to Tanzania. Our first week was joined by fellow students from various Nord Anglia Schools and took part in a lot of meaningful activities. We rolled up our sleeves and contributed to the community by helping construct a school, goat sheds, and installing solar lighting. The sense of accomplishment we felt, knowing our efforts made a tangible difference, was truly heartwarming.

The thrill continued as we ventured on a safari, coming within an astonishing five meters of a wild lion! It was equally thrilling to forge new friendships with students from other schools, sharing stories and experiences that enriched our journey.

The second week offered us a needed rest on the sun-soaked beaches of Zanzibar. After the rewarding yet exhausting first week, we embraced this time to celebrate our hard work. Diving into the local history and engaging with the Zanzibar community added layers of fun and learning to our relaxation.

Reflecting on our time in Tanzania, it’s clear that this journey was not just a trip but a profound life experience that will remain with us forever. It was truly an amazing adventure.

As the days grow longer and the air fills with the sweet promise of warmer weather, it’s time for us to bid adieu to the winter season and embrace the vibrant spirit of spring. To all our cherished boarding students, we extend our heartfelt wishes for a sensational and rejuvenating spring break ahead!

The past few months have been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with unforgettable memories and remarkable achievements. From exhilarating mountain weekends to captivating drama performances, our boarding community has truly embraced the spirit of adventure, creativity, and camaraderie.

We wish you all a wonderful spring break!

This evening on campus we held the first Boarding Theatre Production. It was pleasure to see all the incredible performances from the entire cast, which included three of our very own Léman boys. Congratulations to everyone who was involved, and thank you for providing us with an evening of quality entertainment.

This weekend, despite the uncertain weather, we were able to enjoy a spring weekend full of activities.

As usual, we had tennis, climbing, running club, chess club, eSports club and cooking. This weekend, it was time to make cupcakes. We again had the opportunity to practice our baskets in Basketball and as a new addition, we had boxing, which the kids really enjoyed.

This weekend was the last weekend of the ski club, our boys are sad, but they thoroughly enjoyed it and made new memories with their friends in Verbier.

As a special activity, some of them went to the spa to relax at the end of the semester, which was as relaxing and enjoyable as it should be.

It was also time to rehearse and put the finishing touches in the drama club for Tuesday’s premiere performance at Boarding!

Mykhail continues to love producing Music, especially electronic compositions in a Rock/Metal style. He says that while he is exploring and creating Musical ideas, it helps him disconnect from daily study routines and also to be more in contact with friends back home in Ukraine where they exchange ideas and musical tips with one another. This is a very personal hobby and he generally composes for himself but we have encouraged Mykhail to share more of his work and even produce an album to showcase within Boarding.

For now, one of his recent compositions that you can listen below:

We look forward to that album Mykhail !!

Since Stefan came to Switzerland he has not stopped pursuing his passions, one of them being Photography. Besides having weekly classes where he has the opportunity to deepen the lens on the physical and digital operation of film, he also really enjoys planespotting during his free time, spending afternoons in the airport admiring these jets.

This was the case for yesterday as Stefan woke up very early and left for Zurich where he spent the day waiting for his favourite planes. From the hundreds of captures he got he was happy with these two shots showcased below. It is inspiring to hear his descriptions about the challenges he faces to find the right moment, angle and plane for a shot …

The Leman Boarding House wishes a Happy Nowruz that shines as bright as the warm Spring Sun we now have coming from behind the clouds. May this new year bring lots of success and happiness !!

It was that time of year again …… CDL Day!!

To celebrate the occasion, the annual Grand Prix running race took place on campus.

Congratulations to all the Léman boys who took part in this fantastic event, which was held in support of the Food Prints Awareness charity. The atmosphere and support was immense, and we are proud of all the effort put in from the runners! Well done boys!!

We are so happy to say that many of our boys played at the Charity Football Tournament this evening. They had the chance to compete between houses and show their talent, while contributing to the fund raising. We always are glad to see them being so involved in our community. Amazing job boys !

Spring is upon us and the Léman boys took full advantage of the blue skies and beautifully fresh weather this weekend.

There were plenty of opportunities for the students to enjoy a vast amount of sports and activities this weekend. Some of the acitivities on offer included; Tennis, Climbing, Running, Handball, Boxing, Pilates, and many more!!

“Do you play a Musical instrument?”

“No”

“Oh yes you do …”

The Leman boys did a great job at feeling the groove!

The Spring Seasonal Issue of the Philosophy Society Journal is now out. Once again we feel inspired by Otabek’s participation and interest about the perhaps most ancient human science, so linked to our human nature.

Feel free to explore this issue.

As the journey begins tonight we have prepared a festive breakfast for our Leman boys. We offer our support and care in the following month along their path.

Wishes of a Blessed Ramadan to all.

This weekend has been another full weekend of activities, clubs and fun. Our boys have been able to play tennis, cook with the chef, climb the indoor climbing wall, participate in the running club, and even practice a bit of basketball. On Sunday, we again had the opportunity to enjoy the snow in Verbier with the ski club, where they had a great time. As usual, they participated in the eSports club where they play Fortnite and Fifa, practicing against each other in tournaments, and in the Chess Club where they continued to improve their strategies. As a special activity they have made an escape room, some have been fast enough and others have been at the gates of finishing it and escaping.

This Friday was 8 March, International Women’s Day. This weekend, a march was organized to support the feminist movement. We all marched through the streets of Versoix wearing purple t-shirts to remember the work that has been done so far and what still needs to be done.

The fun on the pistes of La Tzoumaz continued for yet another weekend. The students grasped the opportunity and had another fantastic day skiing on the slopes, including some of the boys from Léman.

This weekend, our students had the fantastic opportunity to visit the annual Geneva Motor Show. The spectacle was as impressive as ever with many incredible cars on display. The Léman boys who attended the outing, said they enjoyed it very much.

Please find an amazing video below, from our House trip yesterday to watch one of our very own Léman boys play in his competitive Ice Hockey match in Geneva. We hope you enjoy.

This weekend, we organised a House outing for the Léman boys. We went to support Léman’s very own Apollo in one of his Geneva Servette Ice Hockey matches. Apollo played amazingly and it was great for him to have a fantastic level of support from his peers!!
