Dear all,

This long weekend – or “le pont” (🌉) as French speakers would say – the girls enjoyed some exciting activities and made the most of the lovely weather. Some of these included chess, volleyball, wakeboarding, a trip to Annecy (known as the “Venice of the Alps”), and a visit to the actual Venice (keep an eye out for an upcoming post about this lovely adventure, a favorite destination for some so far!).

During the weekend, we also took some time to watch the Eurovision contest (with Switzerland as the winner, making the day for our Swiss girls!) and did some stargazing on the terrace Saturday night. Unfortunately, our hopes of seeing the northern lights were not fulfilled, but we enjoyed the time trying to spot them with nice music.

Finally, on Sunday, Miss Alison baked some super tasty and amazing banana bread, brownies, along with watermelon for the health-conscious ones! (Yummmy!)

Keep an eye out for the post on Venice, and we wish you all an amazing week ahead!

Best wishes,

Dear all,

This month, the May Fitness Challenge is taking place to promote students’ well-being during exam pressure. It has been very enjoyable and exciting to see all the girls in the house getting involved. We are including below the challenge from Tuesday: “How many hand-taps can you and your partner do in 1 minute?” Congratulations to Lola and Laure Jane for winning!

Thank you to Perrine and Iola for this amazing initiative!

Best wishes,

Dear all,

Last Friday some students embarked on a weekend trip to Berlin, the capital of Germany, where they could see the iconic Brandenburg Gate and the Federal Chancellery. They explored the sights, museums, and vibrant neighbourhoods, experiencing the dynamic energy that sets Berlin apart.

It was a lovely learning experience for those interested in history, art, and cultural exploration!

Best wishes,

Additionally, the Berlin trip took place this weekend as well, allowing students to explore the city and spend quality time together. Stay tuned for a follow-up post with lovely pictures from the excursion!

Dear all,

We’re thrilled to share the incredible adventures of some of our Villa du Lac girls during the Easter holidays as they were lucky enough to travel to Tanzania. Through a Service Expedition blending community engagement and nature exploration, they’ve returned with hearts full of memories and experiences to cherish.

During the first week, our students actively participated in meaningful community service projects and engaged in sustainable learning initiatives, fostering connections and making a positive impact.

In the second week, they ventured to the captivating shores of Zanzibar, indulging in serene beach relaxation and immersing themselves in the culture of the region.

Below, you’ll find some photos of their journey. We hope these images convey a glimpse of the joy and growth they experienced.

Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead! ✨

Best wishes,

The Villa du Lac Team 😊

We can’t wait to create lasting memories together, whether it’s celebrating graduation ceremonies, embarking on more trips, basking in the sunlight, or soaking up those summer vibes! 🌞

Dear all,

Once again, another term has passed by incredibly quickly!

We would like to wish you all a wonderful two weeks with family and friends. We look forward to hearing about your adventures and to creating new memories during this lovely spring, with longer daylight hours and – hopefully – amazing weather ahead! 🌸

Please remember the house will remain closed until the 14th of April. Thank you!

Dear all,

This evening, we had the chance to witness a delightful play entitled “The Wizard of Oz: When Bad Things Happen to Good Actors.”

We are proud to share that Yoli took part in the play and delivered an outstanding performance! Our heartfelt gratitude to Iola and Ronan for their excellent direction of this wonderful production. We look forward to future productions!

Great job to all the students and staff involved!
