Tonight, as we do once per month, we reunited on our interior terrace to enjoy a delicious Spanish-inspired dinner. We had Paella with chicken, Bruschetta with tomato, and some traditional madeleines. At the end of the meal, we discussed the best breakfast options and why eating Nutella in the morning is a weird choice.

Fields arrived a bit later as she had her piano lessons in school, but we were having so much fun that we completly forgot to take a second picture 😥

Until next Dinner in the house ❤️

In this week’s Wellbeing session, we talked about Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.

As we know, the teenage years are a time of self-discovery (getting to know and understand who we are), but also exploring gender identity and sexual orientation. For us, as caregivers, it is crucial to create a healthy and supportive environment where our students can be themselves and express themselves freely.

To help them with their questions and fears, our group of advocates has created a safe platform where students can post their questions anonymously and they will answer them back. We hope this will help our students to feel more comfortable in our community.

For last week’s challenge, the girls needed to record themself with their roommate and find similarities, either in their cultures, personalities, interests, etc.

Bruna (Brazilian) and Haruka (Japanese) talked about how they both like to sleep and as a result, their room is always really quiet; they also discovered that it’s really common in their countries to cook a lot of dishes with pasta! Who would have thought Italians had competition on who eats more pasta!

Akmaral and Sofiya (Kazakhstan) have a lot of points in common! They both love to draw, watch the same Russian shows, and much more. Have a look at their funny video and what they said in it 😊 .

Fields (United States of America) and Kseniia (Russia) have also a lot in common! they both like Drake’s music and to stay in the dark!

The girls had a lot of fun recording these videos and also got to know each other a bit better during the preparation of the recording.

As we can see, it doesn’t matter where we are from, we all can have things in common, even if we come from two continents opposite from each other.

8 billion people are living in the world right now. There are no two similar persons and everyone has their uniqueness (unless you have an identical twin…).

Today we want to celebrate all the little things that make us unique and different by wearing odd socks! Each sock has a different personality, you can like classic socks, funny socks, or stripped socks.

Let’s celebrate diversity!

As usual, this weekend was full of different activities 🌸

First, Sofiya took a cooking class. She prepared delicious meatballs with semolina 🍴🍛 Look how proud she is !

Then Akmaral played tennis and, as you can see, she was very focused! She’s getting better and better 🎾

After these first two weeks back to school, Etoile decided to relax this weekend by stretching 🧘‍♀️

A bientôt !

Good evening everyone !

Fields, Bruna and Kseniia have just returned from their wonderful weekend at Europe’s biggest amusement park in Germany 

They had so much fun together and with their friends from other houses. They came back with their heads full of memories and are ready to face the week ahead. 💪

They also came back with two new friends! We are now 9 at Villa Saint Loup 9 😂

A bientôt !

During the weekend, the only thing we could talk about was rain. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Non-stop. But don’t think this weather stopped the girls from enjoying their free time.

Bruna and Haruka spent their weekend in London (spoiler alert: also raining in London), and Étoile enjoyed a lovely weekend in Marrakech with her family, while the rest of the girls stayed in Geneva.

Sofiya attended an amazing Art Seminar in school where she learned the Felt Technique. After that, she enjoyed a fun afternoon in Nyon with some friends from school!

Akmaral played some tennis in the morning before heading to Geneva in the afternoon as the rest of the girls did (event if it was raining cats and dogs).

Kseniia had a lovely Italian dinner with some of her friends, while Fields went shopping to prepare for the cold winter.

As you can see, nothing can prevent the girls from having a lovely time and enjoy the company of their friends.

Last night we had our first international dinner after a two-week break. We were delighted with an amazing Portuguese dinner full of Pao com Chouriço, chicken, potatoes and Pasteis de Nata.

But this will not be the only International dinner we will have this week. Do you want some clues? Pan de Muerto, tacos, Calaveras (or the Katrina, as you may also know it).. until then, have a lovely afternoon.

Last night we celebrated Halloween in CDL. All our candies were prepared to be distributed to the local kids and CDL students. We had lots of fun watching kids knocking on our door with their truly spooky costumes.

We also had some terrific costumes as Fields dressed up as Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, Etoile as a witch, and Emma as a policewoman after an ugly fight.

   
After dinner, Sofiya worked really hard carving our spooky pumpkin, do you recognize the character?

Kindest regards,

The Saint Loup team
