Institut Le Rosey, commonly known simply as Le Rosey, is a boarding school in Rolle, Switzerland. It has 380 students aged 7 to 18. It was started by Paul-Émile Carnal in 1880 and is Switzerland's oldest private school. Royalty from around the world have been students. No more than 10% of the students are allowed to be from the same country. Students applying to be seniors must be able to work in English and French.

Tuition fees

As of 2011/12, the annual boarding and academic fees are CHF 125,000 (approximately $133,000 USD), without extra fees such as sports, etc. This makes Le Rosey the most expensive school in the world. The Rosey Foundation, which oversees the financing of Le Rosey's Carnal Hall, makes scholarships possible to "particularly deserving" students, and the four-member Rosey Scholarship Committee allots them to the approved students. However, Institut Le Rosey does not directly offer scholarships to any person, as scholarships are only made available through the Rosey Foundation.
