Institut Le RoseyInstitut Le Rosey, established in 1880, is the oldest private boarding school in Switzerland and one of the most exclusive private education institutions in the world. It offers studies in either French or English to the students (ages 9 through 18) who come from some of the world's wealthiest families in dozens of different countries. Attendees of this school generally guard their privacy. Le Rosey runs two campuses. In spring and autumn, classes are held in the at the Chteau du Rosey facilities near the village of Rolle in the Vaud canton, located between Lausanne and Geneva. For the winter term, the entire student body moves to a group of Chalets in Gstaad in the Bern canton, home to the world's most elite ski resort and where skiing is part of the school's curriculum. The annual boarding and academic fees are CHF 71.700 (around USD 57.000 at a 0.8 exchange rate) and other services charged separately add up to around CHF 15.000. Despite its relatively small student body, Le Rosey offers instruction in more than a dozen languages, with many students studying four different languages. Invaluable to the students is a very high-quality education with an International Baccalaureate. However, as adults, having a worldwide network of former classmates at the highest levels of industry or government, can be priceless.
