Stéphane Lambiel opened his own skating school, The Skating School of Switzerland aka 3S, in Champéry in summer 2014. Since last summer he had an elite skater there, Deniss Vasiļjevs. And this summer a few more joined.
They have a so called "performance group" with six skaters:
Deniss

Diana Nikitina (LAT) - she started her first senior season and has high hopes on qualifying for the Games as Latvia has one spot in ladies too; so far she competed at Ondrej Nepela and Golden Bear

Koshiro Shimada (JPN) - he continues in juniors, took part in two junior Grand Prix events, still recovers from injury

Stéphane also had a long interview with Elena Vaytsekhovskaya:

As no one "volunteered" so far to translate it, I will try to do this in the coming days.
While in Verona for "Intimissimi on Ice" Stéphane also had a fan meeting where he talked about his students, his work with them, coaching, his own skating and more:

And we have one more interview (not mine) with him coming on AS soon, stay tuned.
P.S. There was a "Skating School" thread here some time ago, but I couldn't find it...
