Happppppy Birthday Lucy! 🎈💕🌹

May your day be filled with laughter, love & lots of DELICIOUS cake ✨🎈🍰

This weekend, our students got up to a variety of different things 🙌✨

Lucy and her friends made pizza from scratch! They rolled out the dough, added the homemade tomato sauce, and selected their toppings 🍕

The pizza’s were delicious, and the experience was met with plenty of laughter – as you can see, rolling out a circular base is a lot harder than it looks! 😂

Meanwhile, 70 of our boarders made their way to Europa Park, a popular theme park located in Rust, Germany 🎢☀

Heloisa took the opportunity to enjoy an adrenaline fuelled weekend filled with rollercoasters and adventures. They were met with wonderful sunshine, and were able to fully unwind from their academic studies 🎪✨

However, if you have to study at the weekend, why not study with a friend in the garden? 📚✏

Finally, we welcomed back those who went on exeat with open arms. It’s crazy how much our students miss each other after spending a weekend apart. We feel very lucky to witness these wonderful friendships blossom in the boarding house ❤

On Friday, we took our boarding students to the beautiful alpine village, Verbier and had an incredible time! ❤

During the weekend, the students were able to choose various outdoor and adventurous activities including, rock climbing, trottinetting, ropes park, hiking and mountain biking 🛴🚴‍♀️🧗‍♀️

All of these activities provided the girls with wonderful, yet challenging new experiences, helping them develop plenty of personal skills ✨

Alongside this, the girls were able to enjoy their free time exploring the popular village of Verbier 💕

On the final day, we took part in some team games where the students competed against each other in order to win the overall competition 🏆

I am pleased to say that we have some very competitive, strong girls in our house who did us proud and won the competition! 🥇

Overall, it was a wonderful weekend, full of so much fun and positive energy all round 🥰

This weekend, we kicked off the school term with a whole range of wonderful and exciting activities 💕

From climbing, to wake boarding, and everything in the between, these wonderful activities were thoroughly enjoyed by our girls 🧗‍♀️ 🏄‍♀️

Lucy & Ava joined the wake boarding activity, and clearly had a real talent for it! 🌊

We are so lucky to be located so close to Lake Geneva, and when the sun is shining with 30 degrees heat, its the perfect place to enjoy some downtime 🌞

We are already excited to see what next weekend will bring 💫

Today, Marcela was lucky enough to go Tandem Paragliding here in Switzerland ✨

Thankfully she had good weather, the clouds literally cleared the second they were in flight mode, meaning she had beautiful views over Lake Geneva and it’s surroundings 🌎

Marcela said it was an amazing experience, something she will never forget! ⭐

It’s been one week and we are still reminiscing about the endless celebrations from last weekend.

Below are some photos and videos of our graduates at prom and the official graduation ceremony 👩‍🎓🎉

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We are beyond proud of their achievements, both academic and personal. Not only have they have worked incredibly hard to reach this point, but they leave CDL with memories & friendships to last a lifetime 💕

We can’t wait to see what they will get up to during this next chapter of their lives and whatever they choose to do, we have no doubt they will fully embrace this part of their journey ✨

Best of luck to our wonderful leavers,

The World Is Your Oyster 🌎⭐

This weekend, 4 of our Louis Degallier students joined the school trip to Venice and had an incredible time in the beautiful sunshine! 💕

The students enjoyed visiting the fabulous Doge Palacio, where they were able to discover its history through a guided tour. After, they had some free time to explore the famous city of canals 🌎

And of course, you can’t visit Venice without enjoying a Gondola ride through the beautiful turquoise canals ✨

On the last day, the students went to Murano Island to discover the history of glassmaking. They were mesmerised by the skill and talent of the craftsmen, a truly memorable experience 👏

Italian food was enjoyed by all, including pizza, pasta and every flavour of gelato. Below is a picture of Marcela’s seafood spaghetti which she said was incredible! 🍝

They returned this evening with big smiles on their faces, they truly loved this magical place and made some wonderful memories 🥰

This weekend, 4 of our Louis Degallier students joined the school trip to Berlin and had a fantastic time! 💕

During this trip, they enjoyed an active guided tour, visiting some of the famous historical monuments – some of which you will see pictured below 🗺🚶‍♀️✨

In addition to the tour, they also did the Berliner Odyssey VR adventure which took them through the history in a more visual way, giving them an idea of how Berlin was during the last 9 centuries 🕌

As expected, they got to enjoy traditional German food during the weekend, including an urban Alpine experience at the famous Lindenbräu restaurant 🥨

And of course, they were able to enjoy their free time to visit the shops and local markets 📸

All in all, they had a great time on this cultural city break and managed to dodge the rain here in Versoix! 🌞

Today we welcome back our returning students to the boarding houses and we are excited to hear all about their adventures from the break! ✨🌏

And as you can see, Spring has definitely sprung here and our garden is blossoming beautifully 🌸 May this glorious weather continue 🌞

This weekend, our students spent quality time with their friends, enjoying each other’s company over beautifully cooked meals.

Kseniia & Daria cooked a traditional Russian lunch with salad, chicken, and potatoes, and homemade pancakes to finish 🥞

Ayaka cooked a hot pot using fresh and healthy ingredients, and it smelt absolutely delicious! It went down very well with her friends 🍜

Regina decided to try something new and went horseback riding! As it was her first session, the instructor helped her bond with the horse through exercises that required trust. This included horse riding facing backwards, on her knees, and on the side. Regina loved it and is already looking forward to her next lesson! 🐴

Marcela went to the slopes and thoroughly enjoyed herself. The day started out cloudy, but then it started snowing, and soon enough the sun broke through in time for the students to enjoy the last day of the season! ⛷🌞

Meanwhile, Defne & Sakura helped raise awareness around plastic waste by participating in a school project supporting ‘Mother Earth’ 🌏 There will be a video on our CDL social media soon, so feel free to check it out!

And finally, to finish the weekend off on a sweet note, Sakura baked a delicious Strawberry Tart. This was probably the most challenging bake yet, as she had to produce a crème pâtissière, but Sakura being Sakura, challenged herself and proved she could do it! Well done 👏

All in all, it was jam packed weekend, full of fun and plenty of variety 💖💕
