Get to Know La Renardière with House Captain Amir
This week, we’re excited to share a special behind‑the‑scenes look at life inside La Renardière, guided by someone who knows it best, La Renardière's House Captain, Amir. In a brand‑new student‑led video on our YouTube channel, Amir welcomes viewers into the newly renovated boys’ house and offers a glimpse of daily boarding life at Beau Soleil.
With his natural warmth and pride, Amir walks us through the bright, modern bedrooms that students now call home. He highlights the thoughtful touches, from clever storage to comfortable layouts that make it easy for boys to settle in and personalise their space.
From there, he leads us into the redesigned common areas: open, friendly spaces where students gather after class, work together on assignments, or relax with friends from around the world. His tour captures the energy and camaraderie that define La Renardière’s culture.
Most importantly, Amir shares what makes the house truly special: the sense of belonging. As House Captain, he helps create a community where everyone feels included, supported, and encouraged to grow a spirit echoed daily by the dedicated House Team who live alongside the boys.
