A few weeks ago the girls picked names to buy a small present anonymously for another girl from the House. After the Christmas Dinner tonight we exchanged our gifts for the Secret Santa. They really enjoyed this moment as they tried to figure out who was their Secret Santa.
Also…. the House sweaters have arrived! The girls look great in their vibrant yellow sweaters!
We had a lovely meal in the House tonight! It was a great evening for the girls to come together and bond over a Christmas dinner!
On Sunday some of our students went on an excursion to Gruyère, a beautiful medieval town, well known for the cheese which it’s named after. Our girls, Yasmina, Hai Ngan, Fabiola and Angela enjoyed the sunny day at this beautiful spot where they also had the chance to share a Fondue.
Also, they had the opportunity to visit Maison Cailler, the Chocolate Factory where they learned about how the chocolate is made. At the end of the tour they were able to taste some of the delicious sweets of Cailler.
We are happy to see that the girls enjoyed this excursion!
This weekend some of our girls went to Europa Park and the Christmas market in Freiburg. It was a great opportunity for them to travel with friends from other Boarding Houses as well. They had a lot of fun!

Great work Ladies!
Yesterday some of the girls had the opportunity to attend the CDL Talks where they had the pleasure of listening to Reginald Bien-Aimé who focused on The Future of Work. He is a successful project manager specializing in marketing and management.
Yasmina attended the talk and came back to the House with a smile on her face, as many of the girls did. She told us, “I loved it! It made me realized the opportunities we have nowadays to make the world a better place. Overall, it motivated me to start working on my future.”
