Dear all,

Yesterday, we celebrated the International Day of Women and Girls in Science by shining a spotlight on remarkable individuals like Maria and Inès, who are pursuing careers in the field of science. We all recognise how fortunate we are to live in a time where barriers are beginning to come down and have no doubt that these amazing young women will go on to inspire future generations.

As Nichelle Nichols says: “Science is not a boy’s game, it’s not a girl’s game. It’s everyone’s game. It’s about where we are and where we’re going.”

We leave you with an inspirational video of just a few of our students who plan to get involved in the wonderful game of science!

Dear all,

We can’t quiet believe it but we have just completed our final weekend before the February break! As usual, it was a busy one…

Some of the girls had the pleasure of attending the first session of the Art Club, led by our wonderful House Tutor and talented artist, Miss Madina. The girls thoroughly enjoyed delving into various artistic techniques and insights. It was not only a fun experience but also a productive one, as they worked on developing their portfolios for future university applications, while also fostering their interests and enhancing their knowledge in the field of art 🎨👩‍🎨✨

In addition to the Art Club, there were several other engaging activities organized over the weekend. These included running, horse riding, chess and skiing in Verbier. We want to extend our congratulations to everyone who participated in these activities; your enthusiasm and commitment are truly commendable! 🏃‍♀️🏇⛷️

Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead!

Best wishes,

Villa du Lac team 😊

Lola running the kitchen together with Monica the girls learned how to make tacos so that when they go to university next year they will know how to cook.

We were delighted to welcome Klara Krueger from Hotelschool The Hague to our school recently for an engaging workshop centered around the world of chocolate. Klara, guided us through the fascinating journey of chocolate preparation.

During the workshop, Klara walked us through the various stages of chocolate making, from the cocoa bean to the final product. Her insightful presentation not only shed light on the intricate process but also sparked our curiosity about the art and science of chocolate craftsmanship.

The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the chocolate tasting session, where we had the opportunity to savor chocolates of different qualities. From rich and velvety dark chocolates to creamy milk chocolates.

Klara’s expertise extended beyond the workshop content as she graciously took the time to answer questions from our students.

The workshop not only expanded our knowledge of chocolate but also provided a glimpse into the world of hospitality.

On this special day, we want to take a moment to express just how much you mean to all of us here. You are an incredibly important member of our house, and having you as part of our family brings us immense joy.

Your presence brightens our days, and we are truly grateful to have someone as intelligent, kind, mature, and well-mannered as you are. Your warmth and positive energy contribute to making our home a better place for everyone.

As your special day unfolds, we wish you all the happiness in the world. May your journey ahead be filled with success, laughter, and beautiful moments. We can’t wait to reunite with you and create more wonderful memories together.

In the meantime, enjoy every moment with your family, soaking in the love and warmth they have to offer.
