The girls from Louis Yung 7 recently enjoyed a fun-filled ice skating outing! It was a great chance to get outside, skate around, and share some laughs. Afterward, we all cozied up with hot chocolate and sweet treats, the perfect way to warm up and unwind together. It was such a lovely day, and we can’t wait for more moments like this to come!
Lots of Love,

The winter chill couldn’t hold a candle to the warmth and joy that filled the room during our annual Boarding Winter Ball. It was a night of laughter, connection, and celebration—a time to come together and savor the magic of our community as we wrapped up an unforgettable semester.
Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for—Emma and Etoile took the DJ booth by storm. Their playlist was a hit, and it wasn’t long before the dance floor was packed. Everyone let loose, dancing and laughing together in a way that felt like pure joy. The music brought us closer, and the night felt like a celebration of everything we’ve shared this semester.
The Winter Ball was a night to let go, celebrate each other, and create memories that we’ll carry with us long after the music fades. Here’s to the love, resilience, and unity that make this place so special. And here’s to many more nights like this one!
Lots of Love,

The holiday spirit truly came alive in our boarding house during our in-house Christmas party! It was the perfect way for the girls to take a break from studying and share some festive cheer before heading off for the holidays.
One of the best moments of the night was our Secret Santa gift exchange. The excitement was palpable as everyone unwrapped their gifts, revealing just how much thought and care went into choosing each one. The room was filled with surprise and laughter.
We also had a blast with our “Most Likely to overpack for a weekend trip ” to “Most Likely to make a joke at the worst time” the awards were a hilarious and heartwarming way to celebrate everyone’s unique personalities. The laughter and cheering were contagious, reminding us of just how special our community is.
The treats were delicious and the whole night was brimming with warmth and joy. It’s moments like these that make our boarding house feel like a true home away from home.

December has turned our boarding house into a cozy haven of holiday cheer. The kitchen buzzed with laughter as we baked cookies while mugs of hot chocolate warmed our hands. Singing and dancing to festive tunes, we trimmed the tree with twinkling lights and ornaments, turning our common room into a cozy wonderland. This was more than decorating—it was about celebrating the season as a family.

Sundays in Louis Yung 7 are always a mix of relaxation, connection, and fun—and today was no exception! The day started on a calming note, with Emma and Sofja attending a stretching session. They both agreed it was the perfect way to relieve stress and reset for the week ahead.
In the afternoon, we had a special visitor—Melissa, one of our beloved graduates from last year, popped by for a visit. She brought along her custom version of Monopoly which sparked lots of laughter.
Tonight, we came together to celebrate the incredible achievements of our boarders at the Awards Night Assembly. Valentina was recognized with the Boarding Activity Award for her enthusiasm and active participation. Etoile’s warmth and positivity earned her the Boarding Life Award, along with a Boarding Academic Award for excelling in Grade 12. Marusya was also honored with a Boarding Academic Award for achieving one of the top grades in the Terminal Maturité. We’re so proud of their hard work, spirit, and the joy they bring to our community—congratulations to all!

This week has been full of heartwarming moments and some good laughs. Gia, who graduated last year, came back to speak with the grades 11 and 12 students about what college life is really like. She answered all their questions and shared some great advice. She also made time to visit the house and catch up with everyone, which was so nice.
Valentina and Emma also had some fun in the kitchen, baking a Brazilian chocolate cake. They invited friends over to share it and watched a movie, making for a relaxed and cozy evening.
This week we also kicked off our annual gift box appeal, where we raise funds to create boxes filled with essentials for children in need in Eastern Europe. The girls helped put together the boxes, which included things like paper, notebooks, pens, toys, toiletries, and sweets. With the support of the boarding community, we managed to raise enough money to pack 25 boxes. It’s always such a meaningful initiative, and it’s wonderful to see the girls come together to make a difference.
The November fitness challenge continued, and the girls gave it their all, even though it often ended in laughter! It’s been great to watch them push their limits and have fun at the same time.
Overall, it’s been a week filled with community, kindness, and fun. We’re proud of the girls for all their efforts and can’t wait to see what next week brings!
Lots of love,

We couldn’t be prouder of Valentina, who represented CDL at the annual SGIS (Swiss Group of International Schools) Girls Volleyball Tournament in Leysin this year. Competing against some of the best teams in the region, Valentina and her teammates put their hearts into every serve, spike, and block. All their hard work paid off, as they clinched victory and brought home the win!

Yesterday, the boarding girls got together for some Halloween fun, carving pumpkins and sharing lots of laughs. They showed real creativity, turning pumpkins into a silly and unique design that now decorate our house for tonight’s celebrations. It was a great way to come together and get into the Halloween spirit. Happy Halloween! 🎃👻
