This weekend, our girls represented the school at the ADISR Moyen (JV) Girls Volleyball Tournament at La Châtaigneraie, and what a performance it was! With determination, teamwork and great spirit, they played an excellent tournament and proudly brought home a medal.

We are incredibly proud of Dani and Radi for their hard work, commitment and positive attitude on and off the court.

This weekend, we had the joy of celebrating the birthdays of Ela and Julia. It was a lovely moment to pause and honor two truly beautiful and unique girls, each bringing their own light, kindness, and personality into our community. The celebrations were filled with smiles, laughter and heartfelt wishes, making the weekend even more special for everyone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!

This weekend brought the perfect mix of adventure and rest for our girls. Our younger in Grades 8, 9, and 10 enjoyed a beautiful day skiing in the Crans-Montana resort, blessed with great weather, stunning views and plenty of smiles. It was a long day, but a truly lovely one filled with fun and shared moments on the slopes.

Back at the boarding house, our senior girls embraced a slower pace. They took time to recharge through horse riding, Pilates, gentle stretching, and meaningful community service. It was a calm, nurturing weekend that left everyone feeling refreshed, connected, and ready for the week ahead.

Now we are ready for week ahead!

Yesterday our girls enjoyed a lovely Secret Santa celebration and had a really great time together 🎁✨. They truly enjoyed the moment and were very happy with their gifts, which were chosen with lots of care and thought 😊🎄. Alongside the gift exchange, we also shared some snacks and enjoyed a relaxed moment of chatting and laughing together 🍪☕.

Overall, it was a very special and enjoyable moment for everyone 💕. Seeing how much fun they had and how comfortable they felt with one another reminded us that the boarding house is more than just a place to stay — it is a small but wonderful family where meaningful memories are made 🤗🏠.

This weekend in the Boarding House had a lovely balance of activity and relaxation as we slowly but surely prepare for the upcoming winter break. Our girls enjoyed spending time together, taking part in light activities, chatting, and making the most of these last few weeks of the term. They stayed active, engaged and full of energy – but also made sure to rest, recharge, and enjoy some calm moments.

As winter break approaches, we’re happy to see them feeling refreshed, connected and ready for the exciting days ahead.❄️

This weekend in the Boarding House was full of laughter, creativity and sweet holiday spirit! Our students gathered for one of our favourite seasonal traditions – building gingerbread house.

From the moment the icing bags were opened, the room buzzed with excitement. Our girls worked together to construct a  masterpiece, decorating with colorful candies and plenty of imagination.

We’re so proud of the creativity and enthusiasm the girls brought to the activity – and we hope you enjoy seeing how much fun they had. Here’s to more festive moments as we move through the season! ❄️🏠✨

This Sunday’s Escalade Run in Geneva was one for the books. While most people were still debating whether to leave the comfort of a warm home, our girls laced up their shoes, braved the cold and showed up with the kind of determination that makes us incredibly proud.🥰

The weather was far from ideal but it did not stopped them.🌧 Instead of complaining, they smiled, warmed up together and took on the course with an inspiring mix of grit and joy.

Watching them run, push forward and support each other despite the conditions reminded us why this event is so special. It’s not just about crossing the finish line; it’s about resilience, camaraderie and the confidence that comes from doing something difficult.

To our amazing girls: you showed true spirit on Sunday.🏃‍♂️

This Wednesday, we gathered for our Boarding Awards🥳, a special chance to celebrate our boarders and all they bring to our community. The evening highlighted the girls’ hard work, positivity and the many ways they support one another throughout the year. It was lovely to acknowledge their individual and collective achievements and to celebrate the positive energy they bring to our boarding community each day.

Our girls continue to impress us with their enthusiasm, kindness, commitment and we appreciate the ongoing support of our boarding families.🫶🏻

Some people carry a quiet kind of magic with them and Chihana is one of those people. Watching her on the football pitch is like watching a candle flame in the wind that somehow never goes out – steady, bright and determined. She plays for the under-18s, the under-21s and our Panthers, moving with a calm confidence that makes you think – yes, that’s what possibility looks like.

And in the classroom, that same flame shows up too.✨ She just works, learns, grows. Her effort is soft but constant, the kind of excellence that grows quietly before it’s noticed.

Chihana reminds us that excellence isn’t loud or shiny. It’s a steady light – something you almost feel before you see. And around her, you do feel it: in the way she tries, the way she lifts others, the way she shows up again and again with heart.

We’re grateful she’s part of our Boarding House. She doesn’t just do things well – she makes the space around her warmer.💖

This past weekend, our boarding girls proudly represented CDL at the U19 Nord Anglia European Volleyball Tournament in Madrid – and what a weekend it was!🤍

Coach Irina and Mr. Andrews had the pleasure of accompanying the team, and both shared how impressed they were by the students’ behavior and spirit. The girls were respectful, mature, and an absolute joy to travel with.

And their performance? Outstanding. The team delivered an exceptional showing, bringing home not just one, but two victories!

We are incredibly proud of their dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Congratulations to our amazing girls on a fantastic tournament!✌️
