Dinner tonight was simple—tacos and good conversation. We sat around the table, passing toppings, assembling our plates, and just talking. About our day, about random things, about nothing in particular. No rush, no distractions—just food and people. A good way to end the day.

As we wrapped up our third Wellbeing Pillar, we took a deep dive into something so simple yet so important: the way we treat ourselves shapes the way we treat others.
For our monthly assembly, Marina helped present this message,and we shared a special interview-style video where Marusya sat down with the Louis Yung 7 girls and Ms. Aida. Their honest and thoughtful answers made the topic feel real and personal.
This final week tied everything together—after exploring self-awareness and self-care, we reflected on how all of it connects to the way we interact with the people in our lives. Watching the students nod along, smile, and even share their own thoughts afterward was a reminder that these conversations matter.
As we move forward, I hope this pillar stays with the students—not just as something we talked about in assembly, but as a mindset they carry into their friendships, family relationships, and even the way they see themselves.
Because at the end of the day, the relationship we have with ourselves is the foundation for every other relationship we build. 💙

This week, we dived into the importance of self-care and setting healthy boundaries as key foundations for positive relationships. Emma and Valentina’s Empty Cup demonstration brought our theme to life, showing that if we constantly give without replenishing ourselves, we eventually burn out.
To help students reflect on their own self-care habits, we shared practical tips on managing stress, prioritizing rest, and making time for activities that bring joy. We also explored the role of boundaries in maintaining healthy relationships through an interactive Kahoot, sparking great discussions on when to say no, how to communicate personal limits, and why respecting others’ boundaries is just as important.
Our key takeaway: You can’t pour from an empty cup—taking care of yourself helps you build better relationships. By making self-care a priority and setting clear boundaries, we create space for healthier, more fulfilling connections with ourselves and others.
Let’s keep filling our cups! 💙

A big congratulations to all—keep shining bright!

This month, we’re focusing on our third Wellbeing Pillar: helping students understand that healthy relationships begin within. Before they can build strong, positive connections with others, they first need to develop a strong, positive relationship with themselves.
Through self-awareness, students learn to understand their emotions, values, and boundaries. Through self-acceptance, they learn to embrace who they are—flaws and all. These two qualities are the foundation for meaningful, authentic relationships with others.
To bring this pillar to life, we invite you to watch this short intro video created by Etoile and Marcela. It’s a wonderful way to understand how we’re guiding your child toward self-awareness and self-acceptance.
Today’s session ended with a fun and meaningful activity: the Self-Acceptance Ball Toss. The girls shared things they appreciate about themselves, reinforcing the importance of self-love and confidence in a lighthearted, engaging way.
The takeaway? Positive relationships start with self-awareness and self-acceptance. By nurturing these qualities, students can build connections that are rooted in respect, understanding, and authenticity.

This weekend, the senior boarders traded books for snow gear and headed off to Crans-Montana for an unforgettable ski weekend. It was the perfect escape to embrace winter and make memories together.
Emma, Etoile, Marcela, and Valentina spent the weekend flying down the ski slopes, soaking in the views and the thrill of the ride. There were plenty of laughs, a few tumbles, and that unbeatable feeling of conquering a tough run.
Meanwhile, Sofiia, Sofja, Anna, and Marina opted for a different kind of winter fun. They spent their time gliding gracefully (and sometimes not-so-gracefully!) across the ice rink. Their laughter and attempts at synchronized skating added an extra layer of joy to the weekend.
It was a weekend full of fresh air, good vibes, and moments we’ll all be talking about for a while. Winter really does bring the best kind of adventures!

This evening, we came together for our first house dinner of the semester, and it was a celebration of French cuisine! The menu featured the classic Croque Monsieur with crispy wedges, followed by indulgent éclairs for dessert. It was a wonderful way to embrace French culture while enjoying delicious food and great company. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the meal, making it a warm and memorable start to our shared dinners this semester. Moments like these truly strengthen the bonds within our house!
Lots of love,
Aida & Yewande
