2021瑞士学校开学日新生报到记


概要

 

开启一段新生活既会带来挑战,也令人兴奋并充满希望。这对于孩子们也是一样,尤其当他们在另一个洲、在一个全新的国家开始新的校园生活、开始了解一种新文化时,更是如此。开学日就是重点围绕学生们的身心发展而举办的。

 

这就是为何雷梭勒会真正地与我们的各个家庭深入地联结,并与之一道参加开学日,从而全方位地帮助他们更好地融入瑞士寄宿学校的生活。

 

今年八月,雷梭勒陪伴我们的家庭参加了开学日,这些家庭的孩子分别被瑞士最好的寄宿学校中的三所录取:位于圣莫里茨德语区的阿尔卑斯山卓士学校(Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz,位于洛桑莱蒙湖畔的尚贝缇学院(Collège Champittet,以及位于奥隆河畔法语区的艾格隆学院(Aiglon College

 

 


A

开学日——欢迎仪式

 

在开学日当天,你便会感受到瑞士保留了它国际寄宿学校的优良传统。对于第一次参观学校的人而言,这会是一次独特的经历。

 

开学日是为了欢迎学生和他们的家人,这也是各位学生和家庭之间相互了解,认识校方代表、工作人员和学生宿舍家长的最佳时机。

 

这一天也是为了帮助孩子们为他们在学校的新生活做好一切准备,比如选择床铺、衣柜,选择怎样的方式在校园里打理财务,领取校服,选择体育项目和设备等等。接下来的几天里,孩子们将开始他们在学校里的独立生活。他们可以参加许多活动,与其他同学打成一片,并为下一周的学校活动做好准备。

 

在下文中,我们将带您一起亲身体验一下上面提及的这三所学校今年的开学活动安排,以及每所学校自己的精神和价值观。

 

1. 阿尔卑斯山卓士学校


成立于1904年的阿尔卑斯山卓士学校是一所国际寄宿学校,每年招收约200名寄宿生和100名走读生,年龄在12岁至18岁。“卓士精神”定义并表达了学校在强烈的传统意识与进步思想之间保持平衡的价值观理念。

 

学校理念宣扬的不仅有传统的价值观,还有一种现代的世界主义,它构成了让学生在未来挑战中得心应手的独特根基。学校专注于学生的个人性格发展以及以学生为中心的教学,培养学生的批判性思维、学术好奇心和领导技能、社区服务责任感、对其他文化的尊重和宽容、创造力,以及搭建全球化的人脉关系。

 

 

对世界的开放和包容,构成了这个由30多个国家组成的国际社区的基石。大多数学生会说三到四门语言,学业课程也具有国际视野。在卓士学校,学生可以完成以德语、意大利语和英语授课的课程,并有可能参加双语课程。

 

在阿尔卑斯山卓士学校的开学日,我们立即感受到了尊重规则和守时的德意志民族传统。到校时间定于818日星期三下午3点整,不能提前,也不能迟到。

 

 

首先,我们在专门为开学日活动设置的车辆临时停放地点放下了行李,由工作人员将行李送到房间。

 

然后,学生和家属受到了宿舍家长和招生人员的欢迎。校方向家属们介绍了学校日程安排,以便他们对学校假期有所准备。学校还询问了孩子们的兴趣爱好,从而作出相应安排。了解到孩子们的运动天赋后,他们会被邀请加入学校的棒球队。在这次谈话中,家长需要填写申请表,此时所有的细节信息,例如零花钱的管理,都会一一沟通确认。可以由父母设定一定数额的现金,让孩子在校园里消费。这个步骤最多需要一个小时。申请表也可以提前填写,以便快速完成这一流程。

 

 

在这之后有一个欢迎仪式,其中会介绍学校的理念,包括其愿景、使命和目标。一言以概之,学校的愿景是让学生们成为具有责任感的世界公民,从而帮助塑造未来;学校的使命是使学生受益于全面的教育,促进他们的智力、身体和精神的成长;学校的目标是将“卓士精神”的尊重传统与创新相结合。介绍还包含了各门体育课程,学生们需要至少报名其中一门课程。

 

随后,是每个家庭专属的参访校园时间。参访时间通常为45分钟,而得益于雷梭勒与招生主任的联系,我们很幸运地获得了2小时45分钟。我们可以参观体育场、餐厅以及校园的其他设施,但不包括宿舍,因为按照校方鼓励学生独立自主的传统,家长是不允许参观宿舍的。

 

 

校长与校长夫人都是雷梭勒相识多年的旧友,我们有幸在校园餐厅和校长及校长夫人面谈。通过这种方式,能让家人们最好地了解他们的孩子被托付的学校。晚餐时间安排在晚上6:307:15之间。

 

开学日接近尾声,就要在校门口与孩子告别了。家人之间应该花些时间,好好度过这个特别的时刻。

 

 

2. 尚贝缇学院

坐落于皮利市的尚贝缇学院成立于1903年,距今已有118年的历史。学校为318岁的走读生和1118岁的寄宿生提供基于价值和优秀学术传统的教育。

 

尚贝缇学院每天都在努力激励学生成为最好的自己,学校希望所有学生在个人、社会和学术方面取得超出他们想象的成就。

 

构成这一愿景的基础,是致力于始终以勇气、雄心、诚信、尊重和开放的态度行事。

 

 

一个多世纪以来,尚贝缇学院因其为学生提供全面、严格和完善的教育,并挑战每个学生发掘自己的全部潜力而一直享有盛誉。

 

学院在发展中,并且在不断扩大其课程规模,现提供法/英双语课程,以及三种备受好评的课程表。

 

这种教育方式和提供多种课表选择的模式在洛桑是独一无二的,可以确保学生得到最适合其需求的个性化教育。

 

 

在尚贝缇学院的开学日,821日星期六当天,你可以感受到学校更加轻松的一面,尽管这一天的安排开始得比较早,到校时间定在了上午9:30。我们和孩子们一起来到迎新前台,注册并进行新冠检测后,将行李放在了聚集着所有人的餐厅里。学校没有打印出来的日程表,而是进行了口头的说明。接着我们取到了号码,以便办理入学登记。

 

上午9:30-10:15,校长和招生总监与我们共用自助早餐,以示迎接。

 

户外阳光明媚,环境怡人,树荫下已布置好场地和座椅。上午10:30,校长在这里发表讲话,介绍了尚贝缇学院及其价值观。随后是自助午餐。

 

 

中午12:15,我们办理了入学登记。此时学校会审核所有的细节信息(一般性的提问、询问过敏症、运动情况等)。尚贝缇学院的特点是,孩子们会从校方拿到一张信用卡(其它学校大多使用现金),可以在校园内和校园外使用。由家长决定信用卡账户的每月存入金额。家长每月会收到一张信用卡的账单。虽然我们当天没有见到宿舍家长,但登记人员带领我们参观了宿舍,所有的家庭都可以参加,并查看宿舍的设施。

 

然后,我们就可以在院长的带领下参观校园了。参观是与众多家庭一道进行的。我们看到了各个教室以及授课老师。我们得知,非法语学生每周会有12小时的法语课。

 

下午4:30是另一场讲座,不是必须参加,然后是鸡尾酒会。之后,开学日便进入了尾声。是时候说再见了,祝愿我们雷梭勒的孩子们一切顺利。

 

3. 艾格隆学院

奥隆河畔的艾格隆学院成立于1949年,它不仅仅是一所学校,还是一个不断发展的教育社区。

 

艾格隆在其建校原则的基础上,通过追求思想、身体和精神的平衡发展,让社区的成员们共同踏上了一段精彩纷呈、丰富人生的旅程。

 

学校致力于为每一个艾格隆人提供他们所需的工具,让他们从打好坚实的学术基础开始,踏上自己的教育之旅。学生们身处优美的校园环境,与不同国际背景的同龄人相处,并与杰出的教育家们建立独特的关系,从而能够取得远超过全球平均水平的成绩。尽管学生们的学业目标重点是获取国际文凭和IGCSE资格,并被全球各所顶级大学所录取,但他们明白成绩和文凭只是一个开始。

 

 

环境对于个人发展至关重要。艾格隆人发现,校园所处的独特的山顶位置可以提供一个全新的视角,同时也带来了挑战的机会。

 

这种探险精神也与艾格隆的生活方式有着深刻的联系,从而确保了学生从被托付给学校的那一刻起就能被培养出独特的专业技能。学生们被鼓励在生活中勇敢地迈出新的每一步,相信自己的精神已经得到支持,可以在这个不断变化的世界中茁壮成长。

 

 

在艾格隆学院的寄宿新生开学日,826日星期四,你可以感受到瑞士阿尔卑斯山法语区的山地精神,以及学校的轻松氛围。这一天从上午9:30开始。我们抵达后,首先会放下行李,由专人将行李带到宿舍。然后我们进行了登记,拿到了孩子的姓名牌、地图和行程表。

 

宿舍门口有个姓名牌,学生在宿舍时要把姓名牌翻成红色这面挂起;如果不在宿舍则将反面即绿色这面挂起

 

接着我们开始参观宿舍。由于每个家庭需要依次参观,所以需要等待较长时间。在艾格隆,房间在学生抵达前就已经分配好了,但是参观宿舍时要每个家庭依次进入,不可以有两个家庭同时在宿舍,早到的孩子可以优先选择睡哪个床及床头柜。我们是第一家来到房间的,因此可以选择床和衣柜。随后我们见到了宿舍家长,在接下来的宿舍参观中,宿舍家长向我们解释了所有的安排。让人高兴的是,家长可以在房间里停留45分钟,帮忙解开行李,整理床铺,与孩子们一起查看所有的细节。中午时分是午餐时间,餐厅提供了多种套餐(沙拉、意大利面、肉食、海鲜)。

 

 

随后就到了正式介绍学校的时间,各种讲话依次进行。首先是校长致欢迎词,接着是寄宿总监和学术部副总监的讲话。信息量非常大。总而言之,140多名新生和他们的家人被邀请进入到校园里,办理入住、购买校服、认识新朋友、了解自己的宿舍、与老师和宿舍家长建立联系以及相互交流。学生们来自63个国家。讲话中还给出了一些小贴士。我们了解到个人的全面发展、特别是学生自身的努力,是比学业上的成功更为重要的资本(成绩不好但自身努力的学生,会得到认可并向好的方向推动和培养;成绩不好也不努力的学生,则会被劝诫辅导),我们还了解到体育课和体育活动被加以明确的区分(体育课是课程表上的必修课,而体育活动是课外活动)。最重要的信息是,当地居留证和相关证明必须每年寄给学校。

 

 

开学日的一个重要活动是校服集市,我们可以预约参加。集市持续的时间很长,我们的家庭全程由一名专员负责,为学生挑选一年所需的所有物品,从制服到运动器材、电脑等等,不一而足。

 

 

在一天结束之际,我们举办了一场雷梭勒家庭晚宴,邀请我们的老生家庭和今年的新家庭一起参加。孩子们成为了好朋友,这样一来,她们在艾格隆学院就已经是一家人了。开学日进入了尾声,晚餐后是时候说再见了。

 

B

给孩子们的小贴士

 

对许多家庭而言,开始在新的寄宿学校学习是一个很大的变化,我们总是想确保学生和家长能顺利地过渡到寄宿生活中,从而让这种新生活带来它所应有的一切新奇感受。我们会为家庭提供所有的建议,助力孩子们踏上独立之路并乐在其中。

 

瑞士的寄宿学校注重在学业与孩子们的身心和个人发展之间保持平衡。孩子们从来不会完全地自力更生,而是会有一个零花钱预算来管理他们在校园内外的个人开支。我们将为他们提供第一天的天气预报,让他们知道自己应该穿什么。第一天会有各种令人应接不暇的校园融入活动,因此孩子们不会有时间想念父母。他们应该准备好认识各种不同国际背景的新朋友,他们将与这些孩子之间建立长久的友谊,并留下美好的回忆。

 

 

C

给家长们的小贴士

 

大多数小贴士都是针对父母的,因为孩子们会很快适应新的环境,并在世界上最好的寄宿学校中过上令人激动和充实的生活。

 

首先是关于准备工作。我们很乐意帮助家长们在这一步收集到他们需要的所有信息,并准备好他们应该问的问题。我们会帮助家长们准备行程,以便他们在开学时准时到达。其次,他们应该提前填写尽可能多的文件。我们会帮助他们获取这些文件,所以一旦到了现场,手续就可以很快办好。诸如过敏症等医疗信息也应该准备好,因为在大多数情况下,这些问题会在开学当天被问及。

 

 

在开学日当天,如果准备充分,余下需要安排的事情就不会太多了。需要做的主要就是在允许进入宿舍的情况下,帮助孩子们选择床位和衣柜,或者在有集市时帮助挑选制服和设备器材。在开学日,也需要为寄宿学校的孩子们制定零花钱预算。最重要的是,在这一天可以结交新的朋友,并与已经在这里的朋友们打招呼。

 

最后,家长们应该准备好说再见,并为之留出足够的时间。告别之后再返回则可能会有些小题大作。

 

建议家长们在头几周把孩子们交给学校照顾,而不是经常带他们离开学校。在电话中给孩子们一些鼓励就足够了。这对孩子们迅速适应新环境并学会离开父母独立生活是很有帮助的。

 

D

这一天应该如何应对

 

准备好一天如何结束,与准备好一天如何开始同样重要。正如我们之前刚刚提到的,告别之后再返回可能会有些小题大做。

 

结束这一天有两个方案可供选择。可以在学校,与开学日遇到的家庭或校方领导成员一起用晚餐。或者是在校园外用晚餐,雷梭勒可以组织前一年陪同进入学校的家庭一道用餐,这样孩子们和家庭之间可以体会到雷梭勒的家族氛围。

 

无论如何,这一天应该以在校门口的适当告别来结束,家长们应该随后离开,并且不要在第一个周末之前返回学校。



结语

 

2021/2022学年,我们为雷梭勒家庭的孩子们成功开学而由衷地骄傲。我们为他们在瑞士寄宿学校开始了一段成功之旅而倍感欣慰。我们期待着明年迎接新的家庭,并按照所有的步骤为其提供量身定制的服务。

Swiss Boarding School Opening Days

 

Summary

 

Starting a new life is exciting and promising, though it could be challenging as well. The same applies to kids especially when they start a new school life in a new country, in another continent and get to know a new culture. The focus of the school opening day is set on the well-being of the students.

 

This is why here at La Soleille we are truly engaged with our families and attend to the opening days with them, in order to bring our full support to ease the transition in Swiss boarding schools.

 

This August La Soleille accompanied our families whose kids are admitted in three of the best boarding schools in Switzerland for their school opening days: Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz in the German speaking Alps of St. Moritz, Collège Champittet in Lausanne lakeside and Aiglon College in the French speaking Alps of Villars-sur-Ollon.

 

A. The opening day – Welcome Procedures

 

Switzerland has reserved its great tradition of International boarding school excellency that you can feel on the opening day. Forthose  visiting the school for the first time, it could be a unique experience. 

 

The opening day is for welcoming students and their families, and its the perfect time for students and families to get to know each other, and get to know the schools representatives, staff, and the students boarding house parents.

 

This day is also for helping the kids set everything properly for their new life in the school, such as choosing the bed, the closet, the way to manage the money on campus, getting the uniforms, choosing the sports programmes and equipments, etc. Then the following days the kids will start their independent life at the school with a couple of integration days, during which they can take part in many activities so as to mingle with other fellow students and get preparedfor the school programs next week.

 

In the following parts, we will see how all these are unfoldingthis year for the three schools mentioned above, each with their own spirit and values.

 

1.  Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz

Founded in 1904, Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz is an international boarding school with around 200 boarding and 100 day school students aged 12 to 18. The  Spirit of Zuoz” defines the school philosophy and conveys its values of maintaining a balance between a strong sense of tradition and progressive thinking.

 

The philosophy of the school conveys not only traditional values but also a modern cosmopolitanism, which forms a unique basis for mastering future challenges. The focus is on personal character development and student-centred learning, including critical thinking, academic curiosity and leadership skills, sense of responsibility and community service, respect and tolerance for other cultures, creativity and global networking.

 

Openness to the world and tolerance are the cornerstones of this international community of more than 30 nations. Most students speak three to four languages, and the academic programmes have an international focus. At Lyceum Alpinum, students can complete programs taught in German, Italian and English, with possibilities for bilingual programmes.

 

During the opening day at Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz, we can feel right away the German tradition of respecting the rules and the punctuality. The arrival was set on Wednesday 18th of September at 3pm sharp, not before and not after.

 

It started with dropping off the luggages by the drive through specially set for the occasion where the staff members took the luggages to the rooms.

 

Then students and their families were welcomed by the house parents and the admission officer. An introduction to the school calendar was given to the families so that they are parepared for the school holidays. Questions were asked by the school on the kids interest and hobbies so that arrangements can be made. The kids would be invited to join the schools baskeball team upon learning their gifts in sports. During this meeting, parents would be required to fill out application forms . It is at that moment that all details are reviewed such as the pocket money management. Kids can have a certain amount of cash set by the parents to spend on the campus. This step can take up to an hour. However, it can be filled in advance so that you can get done with it quickly.

 

After this step, there would be a welcoming program with a presentation of the philosophy of the school with their vision, mission statement and objectives. To summarize, the vision of the school is making students responsible global citizens who help shape the future. The mission is to make the students benefit from a holistic education that fosters their intellectual, physical and intellectual growth. And the objective is to combine both respect for tradition and innovation on the Spirit of Zuoz. During the presentation the sports programmes were introduced and the students should subscribe at least one of them.

 

The tour could then start by groups of multiple families, normally 45 minutes for each family, nevertheless, thanks to La Soleilles contacts with the admission director, we were lucky to have a 2 hours 45 minutes tour. During this tour we could visit the stadium, dining room and other facilities of the campus, though not the dormitories which parents are not allowed to see, in the tradition to drive students on their independence.

 

We had the privilege to meet in the dining room with the Principal and his wife as they are good friends of La Soleille. This is the best way for the families to get to know the institution they are leaving their kids with. The dinner takes place between 6:30pm and 7:15pm.

 

The opening day came to an end where it was time to say goodbye to the kid at the entry. It is a special moment that the family should take time.

 

2.  Collège Champittet Pully

  

Founded over 118 years ago in 1903, Collège Champittet in Pully offers an education based on values and a tradition of academic excellence to student. It is for day students aged  3 to 18 years  and boarding students from 11 to 18 years.

 

Collège Champittet works every day to inspire its students to be the best they can be and the school is ambitious for all of them to achieve more than they thought is possible in their personal, social and academic endeavors.

 

This aspiration is underpinned by a commitment to always act with courage, ambition, integrity, respect and openness.

 

Collège Champittet has enjoyed a reputation for providing a thorough, rigorous and well rounded education for their students for over a century, challenging each of them to reach their full potential.

 

As they have grown, they have been able to expand their education programmes and now offer a bilingual French / English programme and three highly regarded curricula.

 

This approach to education and choice of curricula is unique in Lausanne and ensures that their students receive a personalized education that best suits their needs.

 

During the opening day at Collège Champittet on Saturday 21st of August, you can feel a more easy going organization though the day starts much earlier with an arrival time set at 9:30am. We attended to the welcome desk with the kids for to sign up for the day and a quick Covid test before dropping the luggages in the dining room where they were all gathered. The schedule was not given, only explained. And we received a ticket to know our turn for registration.

 

We were then welcomed with a breakfast buffet with the President and the Admission Director served between 9:30-10:15am.

 

We could enjoy the sunny day outside where a nice setting was installed with chairs under the trees to have the 10:30 Directors presentation about Collège Champittet  and the values itstands for. It was followed by a lunch buffet.

 

At 12:15 we checked in for registration. It was at that moment that all details were reviewed (general questions, allergies, sports, etc.). The specificity of Collège Champittet is that the kids receive a credit card from the school (most other schools use cash). It can be used on the campus and outside. The parents decide the monthly amount to be put on the account. The parents will receive a monthly invoice for the credit card. At Champittet you dont meet the house parents but the registration showed us around the dorms where all the families could join and see the facilities.

 

The tour of the campus could then start with the Dean. This was with large groups and we were shown the classrooms with the teachers where we were told that non-French speaking students will have 12 hours of French class per week.

 

At 4:30 pm there was another speech that was not mandatory to attend, followed by a cocktail. After this the opening day reached to an end and it was time to say goodbye and wish all the best to our La Soleille kids.

 

3.  Aiglon College Villars-sur-Ollon

  

Founded in 1949, Aiglon College Villars-sur-Ollon is an evolving educational community that is more than simply a school.

 

Drawing from foundational principles as a basis of approach, at Aiglon, through the balanced development of mind, body, and spirit their community sets out together upon a journey that has the power to engage and enrich them.

 

They are committed to providing each Aiglonian with the tools they need to embark upon their own educational journey that begins with a strong academic foundation. Unique relationships with outstanding educators surrounded by a diverse cohort of peers in a beautiful location empower the students to achieve results that significantly exceed global averages. While students forge academic goals focused on the International Baccalaureate and IGCSE qualifications, and gain acceptance into a variety of top universities across the globe, they understand that grades and qualifications will only ever be the beginning.

 

The environment is vital to development. Aiglonians discover that the unique mountain top position provides a fresh perspective while offering the opportunity for challenge.

 

This spirit of expedition is also profoundly connected to the Aiglon lifestyle, ensuring that students develop a unique expertise from the moment they are entrusted into their care. They encourage students to take each bold new step in life with the confidence that comes from knowing that their spirit has been bolstered to thrive in this changing world.

 

On the opening day for new boarding students at Aiglon College on Thursday 26th of August, you could feel the mountain spirit of the French speaking Alps of Switzerland, with an easy going organization. The day started at 9:30am. When we arrived we first dropped the luggages to have them brought to the Chalet. Then we did the registration to get the kids name tags, a map and the schedule.

 

The day continued with the Chalet visits with significant wait as families had to visit one by one. At Aiglon, rooms are allocated before students arrive, but when visiting the dormitory, each family enters in turn and no two families can be in the dormitory at the same time. Early arriver has the priority in choosing which bed and headboard to occupy. As we arrived first we could choose the bed and the closet. Then we met the house parents to continue the Chalet visit with all the organization explained. The nice thing was that parents could stay for 45 minutes to help unpack, make the bed and see all the details with the kids. Around noon was the time for lunch with multiple menus (salad, pasta, meat, seafood).

 

Afterwards it was time for the official presentation of the school with a lot of different speeches. First a welcome speech from the Director, followed by the Boarding School Director, the Deputy Head of Academics. It was very informative. To summarize, 140+ new students and their families were invited to campus for moving in, uniform shopping, meeting new friends, getting to know their houses, connecting with teachers and house parents and socializing with one another. Sixty-three nationalities were represented, some tips were given, and we learnt that overall personal development and especially  efforts of students are capital over their academic success (bad grades and good efforts will be recognized and pushed in the good direction, bad grades and bad efforts will lead to a counsel) and we also learnt that a clear distinction is made between Physical Education and Sports (PE is the mandatory exercises on the timetable and sports are the extra activities). The most important information is that residency permit and attestation must be sent to the school every year.

 

One of the key events of the opening day was the Uniform Fair that we can attend by appointment. We were taken in charge by one person for this long moment to choose everything the students will need for the year from uniform, sports equipment, computer, etc.

 

To conclude the day we organized a La Soleille family dinner with the family we accompanied last year at Aiglon College and this years new families. The kids became good friends, and this way they would be already like a family within Aiglon College. The opening day came to an end and it was time to say goodbye after the dinner.

 

B. Tips to the kids

 

Beginning at a new boarding school is a big change for many families and we always want to ensure that students and parents experience a smooth transition into the boarding life. So this new life could be lived with all the excitement it should offer. We will give them all the advices they need to enjoy their road to independence. 

 

The Swiss boarding schools balance the academics with the well-being and personal development of the kids. They will never be completely on their own but will have a budget to manage for their personal expenses on campus and outside. We will provide them the weather forecasts for the first day so they know what they should wear. The first days will be guided by integration events that wont give them time to miss their parents with all the activities. They should prepare to meet new kids with many different international backgrounds with whom they will have great memories and long lasting friendships.

 

C. Tips to the parents

 

Most of the tips are towards the parents as the kids will adapt really quickly to their new environment and live an exiting and fulfillig life among the best boarding schools of the world.

 

Firstly on the preparation. We would gladly help them on this step gathering all the information they need and prepare the questions they should ask. We will help the parents prepare the itinerary to arrive on time at the opening day. Then they should fill in as many papers as they can in advance which we will help them get, so once on site the formalities can be done easily. The medical information such as allergies should also be ready to be given as most of the time they are asked on the opening day.

 

During the opening day, with a good preparation there wont be much left to organize. The main task is helping the kids choose the bed and closet when allowed inside dormitories, or help choose uniform and equipments when a fair is held. The opening day is also the time to set the budget for the kids at the boarding school. Most importantly, it is the day to make new friends and say hello to the ones already here.

 

Lastly, the parents should prepare to say goodbye and take a good moment for it. Coming back after goodbyes could create some drama.

 

It is advisable for parents to leave the children to the good hands of the school for the first couple of weeks, instead of taking them out of the school frequently. Some phone calls with the kids with encouragement would be good enough. It will be much helpful for the kids to quickly adapt themselves to the new environment and learn to be indepedent from their parents.

 

D. How the day should end

 

Preparing the end of the day is as important as preparing the opening day. As we just mentioned it before, coming back after goodbyes could create some drama.

 

There are two options. Either a dinner at the school, with the families met during the opening day or members of the schools direction. Or a dinner outside the school that we can organize with families that we accompanied into the school in the previous year, so the kids and families can enjoy the family spirit of La Soleille. 

 

In any case, the day should end with a proper goodbye in front of the school with the parents leaving afterwards and not coming back before the first weekend leave.

 

Conclusion

 

For the 2021/2022 academic year, we are really proud of La Soleille families’ kids for the successful opening days. We are happy about the successful journey they begin in Swiss boarding schools. We are looking forward to next years welcoming of new families with tailored services through all the steps.
