<p>sorry, i go there</p>
<p>sorry for the late reply.</p>
<p>ok so I went and graduated from rosey.</p>
<p>in the past lewisha u would have got in. Now the school is being more concentrated on grades. </p>
<p>WE ARE NOT SNOBS! how can someone quote a 1984 happening and apply it to present day? oh please... We have no butlers! we do have laundry done for us. But no one is spoilt. Snobs are losers and as u said, "Nobody likes snobs" and neither do we. The lazy people dont make it through the life of the school and are probably expelled along the way. Yes it is expensive but then if you can afford it i see no reason to go elsewhere. However, there are other great international school in Switzerland like Aiglon. Switzerland i believe to have heard have the best international schools so going to any i guess is a relief. But some though are bad, like really. </p>
<p>Well then, i am most probably not gong to find this blog page again so i hope i left nothing out. and to the originator, i think u started this blog two years ago? well er, hope ur choice worked out for u.</p>
<p>Wish u all very good days and nights wherever u are.</p>
<p>Ciao!</p>
<p>hey whats the email address for le rosey
i clicked on it but it just came up with a name</p>
<p>Hey, we don't have butlers, we don't call the maids slaves and we are most certainly not snobs ok? It's an amazing school where there are tons of nationalities and no racisim at all, everyone is accepted. It is the most united school I have ever been to. It makes no difference whether you're there because of the money you have or because you're a teacher's student, it all depends on personality unlike most of the schools in the US. There is no such thing as popular or unpopular, there are just groups of friends who normally get along really well. BTW 1 dollar is about the same as 1 swiss franc. The fees vary with the grades. The older you are, the more expensive it gets.
Don't judge us if you don't know us.</p>
<p>We are definitely not snobs. People do come from all walks of life. If you are comfortable with who you are, nothing should bother you. Let me assure you I come from a very very ordinary family, my parents love me so much, that they were willing to send me to Le Rosey for 3 1/2 years. I did not really enjoy myself back then, but looking back those were definitely the best times of my life. The friends I met are indeed my friends for life. LeRosey is truly a "School for Life".</p>
<p>I would watch your words man. FrenchSilkPie, I would really watch making statements about the schooling system.
Also, English boarding schools offer scholarships starting at age 10 AND THEY DON'T GIVE ANY IF YOU ARE 16+. 10 years old is before you would apply to Exter/Andover/Most boarding schools)</p>
<p>Examples such as:
"One Italian boy in the mid-1980s was so obstreperous that his math teacher slapped him. The boy called his father. That very evening the father arrived--in a Ferrari, trailed by several bodyguards. As many students watched, the father apprehended the math teacher in the central courtyard and humiliated him"</p>
<p>AND</p>
<p>"The son of one Saudi sheikh is remembered by his classmates in the 1970s for his unusual extracurricular activities. The boy's bodyguard, a retired cop with the Lausanne vice squad, had been charged with teaching him the facts of life. Every Wednesday afternoon, the bodyguard would pick up the 14-year-old lad and take him to a prostitute"</p>
<p>TELL ME ONE THING: The school makes up for a lack of academics(I am basing that on what others have said) by contacts and the kids know it. They don't need to impress anyone or do anything... They are almost born into it.</p>
<p>I don't want to bash them, but that is my impression. If an incident like any one of these happened at a top tier American boarding school then there would be a major retaliation by the school. Kicked out in a heartbeat. Even if they had a million to spare.</p>
<p>Okay, I know how people say "oh, these international students deserve to be in american boarding schools because american education is wonderful and we as americans are lucky to be here."</p>
<p>international students honestly would never go to america if it weren't for the fact you guys have all the money and name-dropped institutions. </p>
<p>"If an incident like any one of these happened at a top tier American boarding school then there would be a major retaliation by the school. Kicked out in a heartbeat."</p>
<p>^ ok italianboarder, i respect you and all, but look at those dates. the EIGHTIES? SEVENTIES? C'mon, you should know that this probably happened in the US too, it just got covered up. i would watch what i say if i were YOU, actually. "top tier boarding schools" are pretty lax, in my opinion. soft drugs? harsh punishment, but no expulsion unless violated multiple times. dip spit (once again: dipping is gross :P ) in front of the teacher? punishments, but no expulsion. too much PDA? nothing, really, unless you're high or dipping which I have explained above. </p>
<p>in some of the "top" private schools I know, PDA is forbidden and dating is highly discouraged. smoking or drinking on campus will lead to expulsion. and nobody dips here, as many agree it's just gross.</p>
<p>please, "rich" students in le rosey (and you have to admit, a lot of these students ARE rich) are at le rosey because they want a nice education in their home country, not because they're dumb and loaded with euros.</p>
<p>So, I go to an American Boarding school and my grades are A,B,A,A,B and C. but the thing is that one of my mom's companies went bankrupt so right now, I only have money to pay for my school now and college through med school. If I were to apply to Rosey, what would happen?</p>
<p>what is this stereotype about all Rosey students being snobs and spoilt brats? yes we may have money, but when it comes to spending it, we know where to draw the line.
we are just normal kids, our parents don't treat us any differently to u, apart from the occasional treat every so often like birthdays....
and just to let you know... we don't go to Rosey just because its exclusive, its a great school academically and in other activities...
you all may have your different opinions about us and our school.... but you should really get your facts straight before judging us. For example,purpoisepal, welcome to the 21st century. Why are you quoting something from 1984? sigh, listen to someone who actually goes to this school.
1. We DO NOT have butlers
2. We DO NOT call the helpers 'slaves'
3. We DO NOT call the towns people 'peasants.'
Also, if u think that rosey doesn't pay much attention to the academic level of the school, why do you think that students who fail their end of term exams or end up in insufficient every term get kicked out? Rosey doesn't cut academic slack, just to let you know.
Drug tests also take place, so if any student was caught doing drugs, they would be expelled immediately. Stop making assumptions about things you don't even know. Seriously, GROW UP.</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>I am currently looking at attending Le Rosey, though my parents can’t really afford it in these tough times. So I would like try my chances of getting a scholarship. What are my chances of getting a scholarship if I am an A+ student in english and B for maths. I am currently in year 8 (Nearly 9) and looking too attend in year 10. Will be also picking up my act next year for maths. Also what is Financial Aid, having difficulties understanding how this works and the requirements?</p>
<p>Thank you, all responses will be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>I guess it confirms that Le Rosey is the most expensive school in the world.</p>
<p>Would love to visit when I go to Switzerland later this year.</p>
<p>just out of curiosity… (Sorry for interrupting the thread) what is a ■■■■■?</p>

<p>as for Le Rosey… let’s all just agree that American [and british] boarding schools just offer something different than what Le Rosey offers. American schools are more about rigorous education and teachers that love to help you but won’t take your sh¡t. Le Rosey is more about developing, for lack of a better word, decorum. A strong sense of decorum [or one would hope] and a broad education. Of course it’s not as rigorous as American schools, and there’s some coddling involved, but it’s hat you pay for, and it’s not bad, if you can afford it [i personally prefer the harsh american boarding school style :D]</p>
<p>hey i was wondering if le rosey is all that difficult to get into? and if a person gets accepted, do they HAVE to be placed on the waiting list or is immediate attendance (meaning the academic year after they apply) possible? is the CHF2000 fee paid right when the application is sent or will the school respond? andd just one last question, when it says your academic profile is needed from the two previous years, does that include the current one? (if i am currently in 10th grade, and applying for 11th, does that mean i need to give them my 10th/9th reports or 9th/8th?) i know there are so many questions, but i’d be very appreciative if i could get information that answers any (or all) of them! THANKS! ?</p>
<p>What nationality are you?</p>
<p>Last year I was accepted at Le Rosey , but I didn’t go there because of my best friend.The exam is super easy I really think that the ones , who aren’t accepted are really stupid(nothing personal).Three or four people are “fighting” for one place in the college.
I want to tell PurpoisePal that not a big percent of the roseans are snobby or billionaires.For example me,my best friend,my best friends brother and my girlfriend(all of us are accepted and next year we are attending the college).I can’t say that we are poor , but we aren’t billionaires or royalties.And it is not needed to be rich at all because there are kids with scholarships.There was a girl (the best student ever ) that wasn’t rich.I would say that she was actually poor, but it doesn’t matter at all.So her scholarship was covering 100% of the costs of the school and didn’t have to pay anything , besides the things she bought in the village.
And by the way the information you have got about the slaves is old and I’m not sure that is true because I went at Le rosey and spent a day there I didn’t see any kind of discrimination even with the staff.And I have personally seen how nice and caring is the staff.About the price of the college.It costs 93000 swiss francs .However that is just the accommodation and the education.You have got to pay a deposit of 7000 and it is absolutely impossible to survive without pocket money.So add about 5000 to 10000 about pocket money and if you want to go to a vacation you must add at least 4000 more.
About why everybody is so keen on this college is because when you graduate you can go in whichever university you want.Probably the best reason to go there besides the good education are the contacts you can make there , if you are sociable.For example most of the students there are going to be the next top personalities and if you know them you are never going to be in a dead end.</p>
<p>Lewisha your grades are really low and I don’t think that because your dad is a general will actually help you.However good luck.</p>
<p>Does Le Rosey require an interview? if so, can you do it by skype or do they have any alumnae in the US who do them? Anyone know from firsthand experience?</p>
<p>Redtiger, your previous post contained a very misleading claim about Rosey: “…when you graduate you can go in whichever university you want.”</p>
<p>I hope all potential applicants are well aware that Rosey is more about the group of lifelong friends and contacts you make versus any academic benefit. In fact, and this should be stressed, high achieving students will find that it may be harder to get into their top choice university at Rosey than it would have been had they stayed at their previous school.</p>
<p>Please, for those interested, research this yourself. Rosey lists on its website which universities have accepted Rosey graduates. You will notice that only on rare occasion is a Rosey graduate accepted into an Ivy league institution or Oxbridge. What may be more surprising, however, is that very few Rosey upperclassmen even bother to apply to Ivy Leagues or the like. </p>
<p>Again, I stress this, those foolishly believing, like Redtiger, that acceptance into Rosey will get you into whatever university you desire, will be deeply disappointed. If you attend Rosey, work extraordinarily hard, develop an impressive CV, are a legacy student (your parent or grandparent attended the university), and have attained perfect recommendations, then yes, you may find yourself accepted into the top universities in the U.S. or the UK.</p>
<p>Le Rosey is amazing. I just graduated and you absolutely must go! The people are really nice and yes we do have butlers and people doing almost everything for us but thats just how it is and how it has always been. Dosen’t make us snobs. Perhaps actually knowing someone from Rosey before you poke fun at it. Plus you probably go to a boring school and are just jelous …if you can afford it and keep up with the lifestyles of everyone else then defiantly go…but don’t if you can only just afford it you will proably feel left out. Good luck</p>
