<p>If you have to be younger than fourteen to get a scholarship. On their website, though it says 15.</p>
<p>I suppose you never know! I just really, really want to go to Le Rosey.</p>
<p>I just found this on their website.</p>
<p>"Le Rosey accepts 80 to 90 new students per year selected from, on average, between 300 and 350 applications."</p>
<p>That means their acceptance rate is anywhere from 22% to 26%, making it a pretty competitive school. Previously, I thought anyone with the money could get in. This makes me feel better about the school.</p>
<p>There's many newcomers to this board, so what do you guys think of this school?</p>
<p>Jonathan1, your initial perceptions about the school are true.</p>
<p>Well, sort of. It's not that anyone with money can get in. It's anyone with lots of money. Upper-middle class puts you into the rejection pile, I'm sure.</p>
<p>anyone have info about if they have a summer program, and if there's still time to register?!</p>
<p>well, they do have a summer progam. summer camps, if thats what you mean. you just go to the official Le Rosey website and check them out! personally, i liked the Camp de Montagne the best.</p>
<p>Don't be so sure about people judging you for your money at Rosey. People here at Rosey accept everyone for who they are and mostly NOT for how much money they have. Although most of the people here wear Fendi and Prada and well, you know, all those brands, you aren't judged by what you wear unless you have been wearing the same clothes for a week without sending them to the wash. Here, there are the same groups for losers and cool people. The loser group in ninth grade includes a girl from one of the richest families in Korea, who wears nothing BUT brand clothing, which she takes for granted. The cool group in 11th grade includes a kid whose parents aren't what you call heaping rich.</p>
<p>You go to Le Rosey? That's so cool!</p>
<p>Tell us about it.. Are there scholarship students there?</p>
<p>look, i know this is really old a reply and i may never check this page again but listen...</p>
<p>i just graduated from rosey after spending four years there... it is amazing fun and the greatest place ever... fine, everyone may have similarities as their parents maybe well off but then u do not get anything short of a full international experience... yes, the school has had the reputation of have snobbish "richir rich" kids but trust me, thats just a very false rumour.. the kids there are amazing.. we are all very much human and down to earth with our own personalities, be it house music to jazz or hard rock, soccer hooliganism, party hooligans, etc... i didnt know anyone there on scholarships but i do know that staff send their kids there free of charge or can also opt to send them elsewhere and pay... it will be great if u went an experience u'll never forget, but then u will need a bit of extra cash to carry around with u when u leave the campus.. which brings me to the fact that u never actually need to leave the campus because everything u need is right there... basically if u can go, go... </p>
<p>u will learn french for sure, no doubt... but i guess, not sounding snobbish or nyth, but if u could go else where for cheaper then it is very much a great idea for u to do so... this is if u are facing financial aid... but then the kids do lend a good helping hand many a time... and ur future connections will be well worth the price, trust me on that</p>
<p>did you look at the disciple sheet? I think you have to run laps if you don't stand up to adress a teacher or soemthing.</p>
<p>Hi I am new and I was wondering does anyone else know anything about this school?</p>
<p>I just know that it's tr</p>
<p>For example?
I know nothing re: BS in Europe, specifically Switzerland. I would definitely be interested in recommendations, especially those offering summer programming for language study.</p>
<p>ha! oh man i remember when i was entering high school i wanted to go to le rosey so bad. then i decided that it was too far away and that boarding school was better. and then i just settled on my local public school.</p>
<p>Here's an example:</p>
<p>International</a> Bilingual School Of Provence - Ecole Bilingue Internationale Aix Marseille</p>
<p>Just under $30,000 compared to $60,000 for Le Rosey. The transportation, of course, is extra and about the same for both. There's more information on the British schools -- within the pages of this board, in fact -- and there are a few bilingual or international boarding schools around the continent that you can search for. I've only researched schools in France, Belgium and Switzerland -- and not in-depth before reaching a decision that didn't include a boarding school in those countries. My knowledge of Le Rosey is the most limited of all because the moment I saw the price differential between it and other recommended schools, I was able to narrow the list by one.</p>
<p>Hi the fact that it is bilingual is not the only reason I want to go their and the price isn't a massive deal for me. So I was just wondering is their anything else good/bad about this school.</p>
<p>I looked into Le Rosey for my kids at one point, when I lived in Switzerland for a number of years. Academically it's okay but doesn't light a candle to the elite New England boarding schools. I am talking academics here, so please, people, don't get excited. But Le Rosey was definitely more self-defined by wealth than brains. Kids who flunked out of my kids' private school in Geneva transferred to Rosey. That said, if you want to learn French and/or German, and aren't that focused on academics, the school would be great. There are also lots of awesome skiing spots in the vicinity, but if you're going to high school for skiing, check out Burke Mountain Ski Academy in Vermont, USA, which probably has better college admittances than any of the elite prep schools discussed on this webpage. (That said, skiing in the Alps KILLS skiing in Vermont.)</p>
<p>Before anybody angrily flames me on this reply, let me reiterate it's just my opinion. Le Rosey's problem is extremely limited financial aid, therefore kids are admitted on the same basis they were admitted to the American Iveys two generations ago -- because they can pay tuition. That said, it's a really really lovely campus, and living in Switzerland can't be beat. And there are indeed a lot of nice kids at Rosey, and quite a few of them are academically ambitious. Caveat: my information is five years old.</p>
<p>You're actually talking about $100k per year, approximately, to go to Rosey. I guess it's a nice situation to be in where the price isn't a massive deal. It's just about $165,000 pre-tax dollars.....</p>
<p>We initially considered it for our child (because they do offer scholarships) but ultimately decided to focus on New England schools instead. I couldn't stop thinking about its winter campus in Gstaad, and all that lovely skiing...but I woke up from that dream eventually and came back to reality.</p>
<p>From Wikipedia....</p>
<p>Institut</a> Le Rosey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>As of 2007, the annual boarding and academic fees are CHF 81,000 (approximately $77,000 USD). Other services, both mandatory and optional, add up to approximately CHF 20,000 ($19,000 USD). Many international publications consider Le Rosey the most expensive boarding school in the world.</p>
<p>Hi yeah I have heard that the New England schools are good and I would love to go their but I don't live in America nor have any relatives their thats why I (well more my mum) would rather go to Switzerland or near their, as I have relatives living their.</p>
<p>it's not all it's cracked up to be
if you want to get into an ivy league or even a mildly decent school, i have been warned not to go there (not positive if this is true,, but this is what many people have told me)</p>
