Last night we enjoyed a beautiful Winter Concert, filled with music, talent, and a wonderful festive atmosphere. Our students truly shined on stage, delivering performances full of heart and creativity.

A special congratulations to Evelyn — not only for her two amazing performances, but also for her fantastic help in organizing the event. Your dedication made a real difference. 🌟

A warm bravo to Lily for her beautiful singing. Your voice brought so much emotion to the concert and created a magical moment for everyone. 🎤✨

And of course, a big thank you to everyone who was there to support — your presence and encouragement made the evening even more special.

Nights like this remind us how talented, kind, and supportive our community is.

Happy winter season from Villa du Lac! ❄️💙

This week we celebrated a beautiful Geneva tradition at the house — the Marmite de l’Escalade! Our students gathered together to learn about the history behind this local celebration and, of course, to enjoy the sweetest part: breaking the chocolate marmite.

Everyone joined in the fun, shared the famous “Ainsi périrent les ennemis de la République!” and enjoyed the surprise treats hidden inside. It was a cozy, joyful moment that brought our VDL community even closer.

A big thank you to all the students who joined us — your energy and smiles made this tradition even more special. 🍬✨

Happy Escalade from Villa du Lac! 🎉🇨🇭

Yesterday we celebrated our Villa du Lac Secret Santa, and it was truly a lovely evening. The room was full of surprises, and warm holiday energy. Everyone arrived with beautifully wrapped gifts, and the excitement of guessing “Who is my Secret Santa?” made the moment even more special.

It was wonderful to see how thoughtful, funny, and creative the gifts were. Most importantly, everyone left happy, smiling, and feeling the spirit of our VDL community. Moments like these remind us how great it is to be part of this house — sharing joy, kindness, and a bit of festive magic together.

Thank you to all the students for joining and making the celebration so memorable.
Happy holidays! 🎄💛

We had so much fun building our gingerbread house! We spread out all the pieces, icing, and candies, and started assembling our little sweet masterpiece. There were a few wobbly moments (one wall almost fell!), but that was part of the fun. Decorating was the best part—icing snow on the roof, candy trees, and little details made it feel magical. After a few hours of laughter, creativity, and a bit of chaos, our gingerbread house was ready. It might not be perfect, but it’s full of charm and holiday spirit! 🏠🍬❄️

Wish us luck! 🤞✨ #VDLTeam

Past weekend we traded our usual schedules for something a little more… magical!
Our group took a trip to Disneyland Paris, and honestly — what an adventure.

From the moment we walked through the gates, the excitement was real. The castle was shining, the music was playing, and everyone suddenly remembered what it feels like to be a kid again.

We tried the big rides (yes, there was screaming), we watched the parade, we ate Disney-shaped snacks that definitely weren’t on the healthy list, and we took more photos than we’d like to admit.

The energy was amazing, the group spirit was even better, and by the end of the day we were tired, happy, and full of new memories.

A huge thank you to everyone for the enthusiasm and the good vibes —
Disneyland, we will be back! ✨

This week, Monica launched her new regular cooking sessions for Grade 12 — a project designed to help the girls become more independent before heading off to university. The first class focused on simple, healthy Italian classics: bruschetta and pesto pasta.

By learning how to prepare fresh food instead of relying on takeaways, the girls are not only gaining practical skills but also building confidence, responsibility, and healthy habits for the future. These sessions are meant to show them that cooking can be easy, fun, and empowering — an important step in growing up and taking care of themselves.

More recipes and skills coming soon as the journey continues!

We are thrilled to share that Marjorie and the CDL Senior Volleyball Team won the annual Nord Anglia Senior Volleyball Tournament in Madrid!

Over two days of competition, the team showed outstanding teamwork, determination, and school spirit. Marjorie played a key role in the team’s success, contributing to strong performances throughout the tournament.

The players returned home proud and energized after an unforgettable experience — both on and off the court.

Congratulations to Marjorie and the whole team on this fantastic achievement! We are proud of you. 🎉🏐✨
