This weekend was full of energy and sunshine at the boarding house! With the warm weather gracing us, the girls made the most of it by diving into a variety of exciting activities. From the thrill of wakeboarding on the lake to perfecting their swings on the golf course and tennis courts, there was no shortage of action. Karate sessions brought focus and discipline, while time in the garden offered a peaceful retreat.

Those looking for a gentler pace enjoyed chess, stretching and Pilates to relax and recharge. Many took to the paths for a run in the fresh air, enjoying the freedom of the open outdoors including a trip to the bio park to see the animals.

Some girls took advantage of the beautiful spring days to explore and socialise in Geneva, soaking up the culture and atmosphere of the city.

Amidst all the fun, exam preparation was in full swing. Whether revising in quiet study spaces or working together in groups, the girls showed impressive dedication and focus.

We wish the very best of luck to all our students with exams next week!You’ve got this 💪🏼

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the wonderful Iara – our Boarder of the Week!

With her big, fun personality and lively energy, (and amazing hula hooping skills) Iara is always a bright presence in the house. But what touched us most from the week was her thoughtful act of kindness: noticing we were low on fruit, she brought strawberries for everyone – just because she cared.

It’s these small but meaningful moments that truly build up our community, and we’re so grateful for the way Iara brings both joy and heart to Villa du Lac.

Well done, Iara!

What a wonderful weekend it’s been here at Villa du Lac!

Our girls enjoyed a full schedule of activities, with something for everyone. Saturday was full of energy with tennis, cooking sessions led by our talented CDL French chef, climbing club, and karate. On Sunday, the fun continued with Pilates, stretching, art club, community service, and golf!

And of course, our usual Sunday brunch brought everyone together for some relaxed time and good food in between all the excitement.

It was a fun, active weekend filled with smiles, creativity, and connection-well done, girls!

A big, happy 16th birthday to our lovely Katia!

From your bright morning energy to your sweet and cheerful presence around the house, you always bring a little extra sunshine to VDL days. Whether you’re showing up right on time in the mornings (as always!), enjoying some pasta, or bravely trying something new like climbing – you do it all with such a positive spirit.

We hope your day is as warm and wonderful as you are. Have the best birthday, Katia!

The Villa du Lac Team <3
