A fully boarding community of around 420 students from some 70 nationalities, with no single country exceeding 10%. The year moves between the main Rolle campus and the Gstaad winter campus, supporting a rich programme of sport, music and the arts, sailing, skiing and service learning.
Afternoons are devoted to a wide choice of pursuits: sailing and rowing on Lake Geneva, equestrian, tennis and golf, and a full winter-sports programme from the Gstaad campus. Le Rosey is known for its music — with a dedicated concert hall — theatre and the arts, alongside an established Model United Nations and entrepreneurship culture.
