This weekend, our students enjoyed a little break from the routine thanks to Friday’s holiday. Many went on off-campus adventures, while those who stayed behind took the opportunity to recharge their batteries… and then some!The activities began with a cooking workshop full of creativity and flavours. There was no shortage of delicious dishes, and the occasional ‘masterpiece’ was definitely a memorable culinary experiment. But the action didn’t stop there: there was also golf and tennis, where amidst laughter and a bit of healthy competition, our students demonstrated their skills. The more adventurous joined in with a walk in the forest, where the fresh air and views became the best treat of the day.
Finally, bodyshaping and pilates sessions, ideal for waking up the body (and discovering muscles we didn’t even know we had). Then, for those looking for peace and impossible stretches, it was the turn of stretching, where everything from toe touching to some photo-worthy poses.
It was a weekend where everyone enjoyed themselves in their own way, and now our students return to class full of energy and stories to share. CDL knows how to make a long weekend an unforgettable experience!

Happy Birthday Cici!!

We hope that you have an amazing day celebrating you special day.

Wishing you a wonderful year ahead full of success and happiness.

We are super proud to announce that the ‘’boarder of the week‘’ is……………. Paria !!!!!!

It goes without saying that Paria is a real artist, and thanks to her we got the SECOND PLACE in the pumpkin competition. And not only for her art, but also for her companionship and participation in every the boarding actions.

Thank you very much for being always present and for your light and your smile.

THANK YOU PARIA <3

American dinner night at the boarding house was a hit! The girls loved classic comfort foods like mac and cheese, fried chicken, and apple pie. With lots of laughter and second helpings, everyone enjoyed a cosy, homey evening together. A truly memorable meal!

Today at Assembly we had some very special moments and caught up on what’s coming up in the school calendar.

To begin with, we had the pleasure of listening to Sedef playing the piano. His performance was truly inspiring. These types of performances not only allow us to enjoy the art, but also to support our fellow students in their achievements and passions.

Afterwards, we had a talk about the recent trip to Tanzania, which took place during the October break. They shared with us the experiences and stories that our colleagues went through there, from the visits to local communities to the cultural learning and service activities they undertook. It was certainly an enriching trip, and one that left a lasting impression on them and on those of us listening to their stories today.

We also took the opportunity to review some of the important events coming up, which will allow us to enjoy different activities and maintain our community spirit. L’Escalade, a historic and fun celebration in which we all take an active part. In addition, the Charity Committee is preparing for the Christmas activities, inviting everyone to get involved in solidarity and fundraising initiatives, to make this time even more meaningful.

They also talked about the mountain and ski weekend.

Today has been an Assembly full of inspiration and excitement for what is to come – let’s keep building memories together!

As part of the November health challenge all boarding students are completing a variety of challenges including the plank challenge and health snack competition.

Masha won the healthy snack challenge with her entry of Cacao protein balls.Well done to the VDL girls who are getting involved enthusiastically.

On Saturday Masha and Katia went to the stables to practice their horse riding. Sophia tried out dance class while Abby, Ana Teresa, Evelyn and Mirela did some Halloween baking. Thy made some lovely witch fingers and halloween shortbread.

Sunday included a variety of fitness and creative pursuits. Paria and Sedef enjoyed spending time in the art room on Sunday afternoon working on both school and university projects. Others perfected their chess game or got creative in tik tok club.

We rounded up the weekend with a house celebration of Cayla’s birthday and a lovely tiramasu cake. Here is to a great week ahead! 🙂

A huge congratulations to the girls volleyball team on their win at the weekend in Leysin.
