Kseniia is passionate about tennis; she has been playing for as long as she can remember being able to walk. She doesn’t miss a chance to watch any ATP tournament on TV. Last night it was time to support Medvédev, a tennis player she is very fond of. Unfortunately, he had to retire but Kseniia was still happy he had the chance to play for a full set despite his injury.

We are pleased to introduce you to our May Fitness Challenge! Each day students will be challenged to do a different activity and will be able to win special rewards! With this initiative we want students to forget about their textbooks for 5 minutes a day and get involved in some stress-relieving activities before their End of Year exams next month.
Yesterday Sofiya was our house winner, after flipping her water bottle 14 times in just a minute!
How will today’s challenge go?

After our monthly Boarding Assembly on Wednesday, the girls enjoyed a delicious and typical American dinner, with ribs, chicken wings, Caesar’s salad, and various desserts such as cookies, donuts, or brookies.
We had sun and rain this weekend, but this didn’t stop Sofiya from enjoying her weekend.
Sofiya has been trying out new activities since we arrived from the February break. This time it was time to give it a try to boxing. As you can see, she didn’t fail to amaze us all with her skills!

Our grade 12 girls have only a few weeks left of school before going on Study leave to prepare for their end-of-year exams.
We know they are working hard, so we wanted to treat them with homemade cookies.
Chocolate hazelnut cookies or brownie cookies? Which one do you prefer?

On the 22nd of April, we celebrated International Mother Earth Day. The whole boarding community got together to raise awareness of the importance of keeping our planet clean and plastic’s impact on our lives and the entire ecosystem we live in.
Spring is treating Geneva very well, and you will find flowers, animals, and spectacular weather everywhere you look. After a more than deserved 2 weeks of Easter break, the house has opened its doors again to welcome the girls for the last 3 months of classes. We hope the girls had a lovely break and recharged their batteries for the final push!

Tonight we had the chance to attend our first boarding play.
The play, directed by Miss Iola and Mr. Ronan was a funny representation of when bad things happen to good actors during a representation of their play. The students’ performances were brilliant and we all had some good laughs.
We can’t wait to see their next play!

Lately, our Villa Ecureuil girls have been choosing very active activities for their weekends, and the truth is that there is no better way to spend their free time!
On Saturday morning Sofiya put on her climbing shoes and headed to the climbing wall to enjoy the views all from the top.
In the afternoon, Kseniia left the house focused on enjoying a frenetic boxing session. After a quick warming session with the jumping rope, Kseniia put on her gloves and jumped to the ring to “fight” against one Concha Annexe boy.
Akmaral, on Sunday, headed to the Dance Room to “enjoy” a pilates lesson. One of the students there was a Champs des Bois kid who, from what Akmaral said, was the best in the class! She returned exhausted but very happy she moved a bit during the weekend.
Best,

Last Wednesday we celebrated our annual Boarding Talent Show. The girls came up with a funny performance of Bruno Mars’ song ‘Uptown Funk’. they rehearsed very hard and, although we had some technical issues during our performance, they had a lovely time and enjoyed it! Unfortunately, we only managed to score 12th position. Fair to say that some houses had amazing performances!
Best,
