Each year, our students are required to complete 30 credit hours as part of the Reach Hour Program. These hours are divided into three key blocks: 1- Community Service , 2-Responsibility & Citizenship and 3 -Health and Well-being.
Today, Sally has been contributing by cleaning the kitchen and organizing the dishwasher. Her efforts are a great example of how students can earn credits through meaningful service and responsibility.

At our Boarding School, we care deeply about the well-being of our students. Encouraging regular physical activity and healthy eating habits is a key part of our mission to support their overall health—both physical and mental.

We are proud to recognize Heloisa, who exemplifies this commitment. As part of our Pastoral Care program, she has maintained a consistent Sunday exercise routine and is an active member of the Stretching Club. Her dedication is an inspiring reminder that small, steady habits can lead to meaningful change.

“We are what we eat, and our bodies remember the habits we instill in them.”
That’s why we strive to empower our students to make conscious choices—nurturing both healthy bodies and healthy minds.

Every Sunday, our brunch brings together comfort and indulgence in the best way. From fluffy pancakes and warm croissants to savory delights and fresh fruit, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

This year, we’ve added something new: the Yogurt Bar, a tasty innovation promoted by our Dining Hall Committee. Students can choose from three different types of yogurt and customize their bowls with a colorful assortment of fresh fruits, dried fruits, and seeds—a refreshing and healthy addition to their brunch experience.

Our students gather with friends, relax, and enjoy the flavors—because Sundays are meant to be delicious! 🍓🍳

During our house meeting before the Easter break, we met to discuss various topics, as usual. We started by enjoying some delicious Easter chocolates and continued by watching an important video from our boarding director, Mr. Usher, about the latest news.

We also discussed the upcoming charity event we will be holding in May, called the 24-hour running challenge, to raise funds for the cancer charity, as well as planned trips to Zermatt and Ticino, among others.

Finally, to close out Pillar 4 of our well-being program, Healthy Minds and Bodies, we will organize a basketball game between day students and boarders next Wednesday, where Villa LdG56 will be well represented.

This sunny weekend was filled with a variety of activities for our girls here in Louis Degallier! 🌞

First up, Lucy joined Collège du Léman’s very own karate club! Along with her friend Antonio, together they learnt the craft of this martial art. Well done Lucy for trying something new this weekend 👏

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Heloisa took on the challenge of making homemade sushi! With the help of fellow boarder, Nico, together they made 2 huge platters filled with freshly hand rolled sushi, including the classic ‘Maki’ 🍚

This type of sushi is made by wrapping rice and other ingredients in a sheet of seaweed called ‘Nori’, it’s then sliced into even segments. The hard part was making sure the consistency of the rice was perfect – a lot of concentration and skill is required to get it just right, and it seems like Heloisa & Nico followed the instructions to a tee. Well done! 🍱🍥

Heloisa also enjoyed the Stretching and Relaxing class, which took place outside this week! 🌻

Duda enjoyed the weekend socialising in the sunshine with friends. She couldn’t quite believe how lovely the weather could be in Switzerland having only experienced the cold winter so far. As an active person, Duda also went to the gym, and attended the body shaping class here at Collège du Léman 🙏

Well done for trying new things, girls – and here’s to more sunny days here at CDL! 🌞

We are thrilled to see one of our girls graduate this year after seven years at the College of Leman.

Taissia, it feels like just yesterday that you arrived at the College of Leman. We are incredibly proud of you and wish you all the best in your future Business studies at University in Dubai. God bless you always!

Your Boarding Family

To celebrate our school’s core values and support important causes, we held a variety of events on campus today!
