International Dinner – Mexico 🇲🇽

Dear All,

After an incredible dinner at home yesterday, tonight, we enjoyed another great meal with our Wednesday International Dinner night. Tonight’s theme was Mexico, and the meal was absolutely delicious! We had Juarez Tacos Salpícon, a Mexican braised beef in a tortilla bowl, and a mix of delicious grilled peppers for a vegetarian option. We were also served fresh pico de gallo and guacamole, making for an especially colorful plate. To top it off, we had decadent chocolate tartlets for dessert–what a tasty addition to our week!

As always, we look forward to the next International Dinner!

Much love,

The St. Loup 4 Team

 

Dinner at Home: Italy!

Dear All,

Tonight at St. Loup 4 and 9, we were treated to an exceptional Italian feast in the comfort of our own homes.

After being apart for two weeks, this was a much-appreciated chance to reconnect, share memories from our travels, and of course, enjoy delicious food! Tonight’s menu included a hearty lasagne, refreshing salad with balsamic dressing, delicious Peach Iced Tea to drink, and for dessert, choux pastry with Chantilly crème!

Overall, our second dinner at home was a fantastic way to ease back into the school year after a wonderful October break.

Stay tuned for next month’s dinner at home!

Tanzania & Zanzibar Trip

We’re excited to share that we’re back from the October break and ready to dive into the new half term with fresh energy and enthusiasm! We hope that all of you enjoyed some quality time with your families and that our students are returning well-rested and motivated.

As for us, Dima, Heloisa, and I have just returned from the Nord Anglia Expedition to Tanzania and Zanzibar — an unforgettable journey filled with learning, service, and adventure.

In Tanzania, our group worked closely with local communities, contributing to the construction of a boarding school for girls and engaging in a variety of community support projects. We also had the incredible opportunity to experience a safari, observing some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife in their natural habitat.

After a week of hard work and exploration, we travelled to Zanzibar, where we enjoyed some well-deserved rest and reflection time by the ocean — the perfect way to recharge before returning to classes.

It was truly an inspiring experience for all of us, combining education, service, and cultural discovery — and we’re looking forward to bringing those lessons and memories back into our classrooms and daily lives.

Welcome back, everyone — let’s make the rest of the term amazing!

Mid-Term Break Has Arrived!

Dear all,

We’re off for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier about it! After an energetic and action-packed start to the year, the Mid-Term Break is just what we all need—a time to rest, reset, and recharge.

Beginnings are always exciting, and our juniors and returning students did not disappoint. But now it’s time to slow down, enjoy some peace, and appreciate a well-earned break after so many great months. You all deserve it!

We’ll miss the buzz of Saint Loup, but can’t wait to come back refreshed and ready for the rest of the year. Until then—enjoy your time, stay safe, and make the most of every moment.

Warm wishes,
The Saint-Loup Team

International Dinner – China!

Dear all,

This evening, we were treated to some incredible Chinese cuisine! The menu had a wide variety of options, including crispy prawns (a very popular choice!), stir-fried beef, sweet and sour chicken, vegetables with tofu, mountains of noodles and rice, and to top it off, pineapple fritters for dessert.

This meal seemed to be a favorite among students, with many going back for second plates. Adding to our experience were chili crisp oil and dipping sauce, making this meal especially delicious. Plus, we all got to practice our chopstick skills!

An interesting fact about China: did you know it is the largest nation in the world that has only one time zone?

Stepping Up – Respect Week

Dear all,

This week is International Week, and today at the House Meeting we did something special. We created several scenarios where a person is in an awkward situation, and we role-played how we could show respect and help them. The scenarios mirrored real everyday situations in school, so we could see what we might actually do if we were in one of them.

One of the scenarios and Bisher’s response stood out to me:

Scenario: During lunch, a new student accidentally drops his tray of food and looks very embarrassed. Some of the kids start giggling about it.
Bisher’s answer:
“I would go up to them to ask if they’re ok, then I’d go with him to ask the kitchen for the cleaning material and help him clean up so neither him nor the staff have to do it alone. Then I’d go with him to get a second tray of food and I would sit with him to eat together.”

I was really impressed by some of the other responses, honestly. This exercise ended up being way better than I expected. Everyone jumped in and shared thoughtful answers that made our meeting really meaningful.

International Dinner: An Australian Adventure!

Tonight, we were treated to an incredible Australian-inspired meal for our weekly International Dinner.

The menu consisted of tender lamb in a savoury sauce, potato gratin, and a special Roquette vegetable pie. For dessert, we enjoyed chantilly crème with an assortment of fruits in syrup as a topping.

A fun fact about Australia: the country is as wide as the distance between London and Moscow!
