Le Rosey Camps offer the opportunity to experience a glimpse of the Rosey spirit, become more independent, forge lifelong friendships and of course, have fun in a short couple of weeks. A unique experience in true Rosey style!

Live in an international and multi-cultural environment (78 nationalities), where swapping from one language to another becomes as easy as counting “one, two, three”. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, whether by the lakeside or in the Swiss Alps with our wide range of sports and excursions. Develop your artistic talents, theatre skills and musical ability in Rolle at our futuristic Paul & Henri Carnal Hall.

“Rosey has prepared me to explore all of my different passions. So hopefully I can have a major in the sciences, but also take courses in the arts,

take courses in different languages and really develop the skills that I have learned and loved at Rosey. The one thing I will cherish

from Rosey now that I’m graduating is the friendships that I’ve made and the community around me. It’s not just your class that you graduate with – it’s the people who have been here for generations and I feel like I share this sort of bond with all these people.

To anyone who is coming to Rosey I would tell them to be themselves. It’s such an open and accepting place. It has really

allowed me to develop who I am and not hide from my true identity… to make real friends and create meaningful connections

with people from all over the world.”

Caroline Marshall, Princeton University, Class of 2015

LAKE GENEVA CAMPUS

In the town of Rolle, halfway between Geneva and Lausanne, the 14th-century Château du Rosey has served as the main campus for Le Rosey since its foundation in 1880.

Today, the Rolle campus includes over 15 different buildings, an impressive infrastructure that allows students to participate in a wide range of academic, sports and arts activities as well as

offering boarding accommodation for 400 students and 200 teachers and staff.

The Paul & Henri Carnal Hall, the latest addition to Le Rosey, is a futuristic building bringing together music, theatre, the visual arts and gastronomy. All aimed to inspire our students’ creativity. At its heart, a great

concert hall for music and theatre.

GSTAAD MOUNTAIN CAMPUS

Since the winter of 1916 the entire school has moved up to the Alps for a term. Afternoons are dedicated to the snow and winter sports, while the mornings are used to continue the regular school programme. The mountain campuses are in Gstaad and Schönried, both picturesque Swiss villages which are as beautiful in the winter as they are in the summer.

The style of the mountain campuses follows local tradition, with large Swiss chalets housing classrooms, dining halls, bedrooms and a number of multipurpose recreation areas. It is not uncommon in the summer to hear the cowbells ringing on a nearby farm. The facilities of the region allow our campers to participate in real mountain discovery adventures under the supervision of professionals.
