Last Tuesday, we enjoyed a delicious dinner together at home. We got to taste mouthwatering hot dogs with a variety of toppings, as well as creamy mac and cheese. It was a wonderful opportunity to spend more time together and get to know each other better. We had a really good conversation about their future plans, hobbies, families, and travel experiences. We would love to host another House Dinner because we had such a great time and shared many laughs and stories.

The week has started in a calm and focused way, here at Louis Degallier 60. During these first days, the boarders have spent time together in the evenings, gathering around a nice Hot-Dog meal or facing each other in challenging Chess games or video games. These were valuable times, helping the boys to disconnect and enjoy the house’s calm environment in order to have energy and focus during their study sessions.

The Louis Degallier Boarders enjoyed a fun, relaxing, and well-balanced weekend filled with activity and productivity. Students took part in a variety of exciting experiences, including tennis sessions, skiing trips, and an energetic visit to Gravity Park for exciting trampoline jumps, giving everyone a chance to unwind and stay active. In the evenings, friendly football games brought boarders together for laughter and teamwork, creating a great sense of community. Alongside the fun, boarders also made good use of their free time to study and complete assignments in preparation for the upcoming week.

The first week back from the Christmas break at Louis Degallier 60 has been a positive and productive start to the new semester. The boys settled quickly back into their routines, showing a strong focus on studying and completing their assignments as they adjusted to academic expectations once again. Alongside their return to structured work, the weekend offered a welcome balance of fun and teamwork, with students enthusiastically taking part in an Escape Game and several football matches. These engaging activities helped rebuild house spirit, encouraged collaboration, and set an energetic and motivated tone for the weeks ahead.

The Louis Degallier team wishes you a very Happy New Year!

We are delighted to be open once again for a new and exciting term and look forward to welcoming our boarders back. We can’t wait to hear all about their holiday adventures and to share another wonderful term together.

The team from Villa Louis Dégallier 56 wish all of our students and families a wonderful Winter Break. See you in 2026!

Tonight we gathered around to celebrate Nikita’s 18th Birthday. Our House Captain was able to share a delicious chocolate cake with his friends and our boarders shared a wonderful moment together to catch up and enjoy. Happy Birthday Nikita!

The 2025 Winter Ball was a truly memorable celebration for our boarding community, bringing everyone together for an evening of elegance, joy, and shared pride. The Louis Degallier boys looked exceptionally smart in their finest outfits, setting the tone for a beautiful night of togetherness and celebration. The evening began with a delicious three-course meal enjoyed in great company, followed by thoughtful and inspiring speeches from the Head Boy and Head Girl. The night concluded on a high note with a lively disco, filling the room with music and dancing, and leaving everyone with lasting memories.

Tonight, LDG 60 gathered for one of Geneva’s most iconic traditions: the breaking of the chocolate marmite for L’Escalade — a moment our house looks forward to every year.

In true Escalade spirit, the youngest and oldest students joined forces to carry out the tradition. This time, Mario and Hoodad stepped up for LDG 60, bringing energy, teamwork, and a lot of anticipation to the moment.

As everyone crowded around, the room buzzed with laughter and excitement. Then came the famous words:
“Ainsi périrent les ennemis de la République!”
With a swift strike, the marmite burst open — and chocolate scattered to the delight of the whole house.
