On Thursday, Manuela and the Panthers football team made their way to the International School of Lausanne to play the first game of the season. The CDL team dominated the game with an impressive 11-1 victory. Manuela was one of the stars of the team, after scoring 5 incredible goals throughout the game. The team worked in perfect harmony, creating multiple scoring opportunities and defending fiercely.

Well done girls!

Lots of love,

Maria & Lina🐿️

Manuela is definitely well integrated in her fitness routine: whenever she is not at home or at school, it is always assumed she is either at the gym, on a run or joining one of the several sports activities offered by CDL. 💪

If you look under the photo of Ale with her mom, you will notice a large group of students with beaming smiles. This joyful atmosphere comes all the way from Germany, more specifically from Europa Park. ✨

As every year, the number of students joining this funny trip has been impressive, and it’s true: the more of us there are, the more fun we have! Kseniia spent the weekend at Europa-Park, enjoying all the exciting attractions and thrilling rides. She had a fantastic time exploring the park and making fun memories! 🎢🎡

At Collège du Léman, we like to give students a platform to express themselves and help enrich our community. We are pleased to announce this year’s role within the house. Each one of these girls has been selected for their role having in mind their involvement with the community, with the house, their communication skills, and their motivation to be the change future generations need. We wish them all the best of luck, we are sure you will do great!

Lots of love,

We can’t believe it has already been a month on campus! Time flies by when having a good time and keeping busy.

This weekend Ada wanted to try Wakeboard, but as the wind has been crazy on this side of the lake she decided to put on her boots and go for a horse riding class! She was a natural rider and, although she didn’t like the smell of horses, she had a blasting time!

Haruka decided to spend her Saturday afternoon helping by the lake with the annual Lake Clean up. She joined forces with other boarders and all together made an impact on our lake, making sure to pick up any trash they might find on the way. Thank you Haruka for helping the community!

Lots of love,

Today we hosted our first monthly Dinner in the House event.

On days like this one, we all reunite in our kitchen and enjoy a delicious dinner filled with laughs, conversation, and joy. Lasagna and tiramisu were the two stars of this dinner and it didn’t deceive! The girls loved it and had several servings! Although the weather is feeling much colder than last week, our hearts were warmed up by the family atmosphere everyone could sense in our home. We can not wait for the next house event

With love,

This weekend, our girls hit the mountains in Verbier, and it was an absolute blast! They tried everything from hiking and mountain scootering to biking and rock climbing. And let’s not forget the adventure in the rope course! After all that action, they explored the town and chilled over some great dinners with friends.

Sunday was all about fun team games, and we came back with a ton of great memories (and maybe a little tired!). Starting a new week of classes after such a wild weekend won’t be easy, but it was so worth it! These pretty girls are total rockstars, and we know they’re going to crush it this week!

All this, is CDL 🩷

With love,

Despite being a bit overwhelmed with homework and the pressure of getting prepared for exams, Ada didn’t back out from attending her first badminton class. Her curiosity and willingness to learn this sport, even during such a busy time, is truly commendable. 👏🏻

Here’s to a new great experience! 😍

Weekends are a refreshing escape from the weekly routine, offering time to relax, recharge, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

On Friday Manuela went to Dégallier 56 to have dinner with her friends. Together they prepared a Brazilian dessert called Brigadeiro. They enjoyed a lovely night full of laughs and music. Manuela came back home with a little piece of Brigadeiro so the rest of the girls could try it. Ada gave it a 9 out of 10 and Ale was pleasantly surprised by the taste of it.

On Saturday morning, Haruka attended a cooking class where she learned how to prepare a Poke bowl with a base of rice noodles.  Haruka enjoyed mastering this flavorful and healthy dish, adding a new skill to her culinary repertoire. She shared her creations with the rest of the house!

At the same time, Manuela joined the running club, before heading to the gym to finish a magnificent fitness routine. During the run, she discovered the beautiful landscape surrounding the school. She is even thinking of participating in the Geneva Marathon weekend!

Ale and Sofiya engaged in two different racket activities! Ale played tennis for the first time in a few years and Sofi continued to develop her badminton skills.

Ada enjoyed so much her last week’s activity so she decided to head back to the lake to try, this time, the banana boat.

Sunday was a more relaxed day. The girls enjoyed our lovely brunch and headed to the lake to lay down on the grass and take advantage of the sunny afternoon (right before the storm, of course).

We all know what happens on Wednesday evenings, right?

Last night we officially welcomed back Sofiya, who just arrived from the holidays. After discussing some details for the Discovery Days and the Mountain weekend, the girls stayed longer in the living room sharing experiences and getting to know each other.

It is truly incredible to see how Manuela’s exceptional football skills turn so effortlessly into volleyball. Her ability to adapt in different sports highlights her versatility and athletic talent. 🤗

This kind of proactive attitude of students who are eager to explore and learn more is essential for the own personal growth: it is by seeking out new experiences and challenges that students become more well-rounded individuals.

Congratulations to you! 🥳
