This weekend, the girls had a blast with a range of exciting activities. From Cooking and Tennis to Running, Pilates, and Stretching, there was something for everyone. For those feeling a bit more adventurous, there were opportunities to try out climbing, horse riding, golf, and even a fun, competitive game of laser tag.

With the sun shining brightly, many took full advantage of the beautiful weather, relaxing by the lake, helping out at community service, exploring Geneva, and enjoying quality time with friends. All in all, it was a peaceful and fun-filled weekend at VDL, leaving the girls refreshed and recharged as they prepare for the final week of school before the Spring holidays.

All the best,

The VDL team

This weekend the girls enjoyed a nice balance of activity and relaxation, making the most of their time both in and out of the house.

For those who enjoy staying active, there were plenty of opportunities to get moving. Tennis matches were in full swing, with some friendly competition on the courts. Others found their zen with Pilates and stretching sessions that helped everyone feel energized and centered.

Meanwhile, others enjoyed a quiet afternoon of chess in Leman, while Evelyn and Elena took to the outdoors to soak up the spring sunshine, gardening and tending to the plants.

Of course, it wasn’t all about staying close to home. A group of girls headed to Geneva for a day of shopping, sightseeing, and catching up with friends. The weekend also saw a few late birthday celebrations, complete with laughter, flowers, and unforgettable memories.

All in all, it was a weekend filled with fun, relaxation, and a little adventure – the perfect way to recharge before another busy week ahead!

Happy Birthday, Aurora! 🎉 Your bright, bubbly, and kind spirit makes VDL a better place, and we’re so lucky to have you as part of our community . Wishing you an amazing year ahead filled with joy and success.

Lots of love! 💖

A huge congratulations to the CDL Girls Volleyball Team for securing 4 & 5th place in this weekend’s tournament in Lausanne!

This was a first for Yeva and Katia, and both of them gave it their all — a big shout-out to them for their fantastic effort and achievement. Special recognition also goes to Bella and Rafaela, who brought not only their A-game but also their valuable experience to the team, playing a crucial role in the team’s performance.

A heartfelt thank you to the coaches for their guidance and support, and to everyone involved in organizing the event. Your hard work and dedication made this experience possible, and the team is grateful for it!

Here’s to more success and growth for the CDL Girls Volleyball Team!

After a busy week of AP exams and the first week back from February break, the girls at the boarding house enjoyed a much-needed relaxing weekend to unwind and recharge. The sunny, warm spring weather made everything even better, and everyone took full advantage of the beautiful conditions.

Though relaxation was the main focus of the weekend, the girls still made time to stay active. They played friendly tennis matches, did some light stretching, and even tried out a hip-hop dance session in the gym. It was a great way to get moving and have fun without any pressure.Some of the girls also enjoyed socializing and shopping in Geneva.

For those who wanted a more peaceful activity, hiking in the local mountains was a favorite. The fresh air and stunning views made it the perfect way to unwind and enjoy nature while catching up with friends.

By the end of the weekend, the girls are feeling relaxed and ready for the week ahead. The mix of fun activities, downtime, and sunny spring weather made for the perfect balance of rest and enjoyment, leaving everyone feeling recharged for the days to come.

International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on the achievements of women all around the world, and it’s also an opportunity to show gratitude for the incredible women in our lives. This year, we celebrated the occasion in a creative and meaningful way.

Our celebration kicked off with a fun art activity led by Victor. Elena and Kiki guided the group through a painting project where participants made beautiful hand print art. As part of the activity, everyone was encouraged to write a short note about why they are grateful for the women who inspire them. It was a beautiful moment of reflection and appreciation.

In addition to the art project, we honored the women in our lives by giving flowers. Many of the girls also received flowers from their loved ones.

It was a day filled with gratitude, creativity, and connection—a beautiful reminder of the importance of recognizing and celebrating women, not just on International Women’s Day, but every day.

Happy February Break from All of Us at Villa du Lac!

It’s hard to believe, but February break has arrived faster than we could have imagined. Time seems to be flying by, and with the hustle of the first part of the school year behind us, we’re all in need of some well-deserved rest and relaxation.

We want to wish everyone in CDL a great and restful week off! Whether you’re spending your break with family near or far, heading off on a ski week in Crans Montana, or braving the cold (and hoping for a glimpse of the Northern Lights) in Iceland, we hope this break fills your cup up with adventure, rest and fun.

No matter where you’re headed or how you’re spending the break, we hope this time gives you the chance to recharge, explore new places, or simply take a moment to unwind.

The house will reopen on March 1st from 09:00 am and all students are to return to the house by 18:30 on March 2nd.

We look forward to seeing you all back soon and we hope that you have a fantastic February break.

The best of wishes,

The Villa du Lac team ⭐️
