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! 😍

Ecureuil team 🧡

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! 🥳

During the first weekend of the new school year all the girls found their own way to recharge and prepare for the second week:

Manuela decided to spend time in Geneva with her new friend arrived in Ecureuil, Alejandra;

Ada strengthened bonds with her new friends on campus;

Haruka chose some quality family time, spending the weekend with her mom;

Kseniia reconnected with those friends who are back on campus.

We are ready… let’s begin the second week! 🤩

All the best,

Ecureuil team 🧡

For the first time in Villa Ecureuil, we have a boarding prefect! Haruka was chosen among other students to represent the student boarder community and help improve the boarding experience. Congratulations on this nomination, Haruka, and the best of luck 🍀🍀

Lots of love,

Ecureuil team

Today we had our first boarding assembly to welcome back all our students and, afterward, we enjoyed a lovely and delicious Swiss dinner. The girls had a great time meeting new friends from different houses and countries.

Today was also their first day of school, and although they were nervous to meet their teachers and new classmates, they all agreed it was not as scary as they first thought!

Lots of love,

Ecureuil team 🐿️

Let us present you our new Ecureuil girls!

In addition to Haruka, Kseniia, and Sofiya, this year we also have Ada, Manuela, and Alejandra with us. We are sure the girls will have a great experience and we will make sure to show you their daily life in the boarding house.

For now, here you have a lovely picture at our very first breakfast together!

Lots of love,

Maria, Lina & Irene

Ecureuil team is on campus and thrilled to welcome back all of you, girls. We hope you had a wonderful time with your family and friends, and that you are feeling recharged and ready for a new year full of exciting opportunities. As we embark on a new chapter of our journey together, we look forward to seeing you making new friendships, tackle challenges, experience the satisfaction of your achievements, and enjoy the many activities our school offers.

See you soon,

Irene, Maria and Lina 🧡

We can not believe it’s been 316 days since we started this school year!

The year has gone by so fast and we are finally heading into this deserved summer break. All the girls are already back home and we will also be heading home in the next few hours to enjoy the sun and the good weather (if you are not staying in Switzerland, of course).

The Ecureuil team wishes all the girls and their families a lovely summer break. We want to thank you for your support during this year. We will see you again in August!

Lina and Maria.
