Billing schedule and payment terms

- For newly admitted students: the required deposit (see above) must be paid within 10 days of the admissions decision to confirm the place. Subsequent term fees follow the published term deadlines.
- For returning students (re‑enrolment): Cadets & Seniors annual fees may be paid in two instalments — first+second term combined and third term separately — with specific deadlines (example: first+second term payment due 1 April; third term due 31 January of the following year). Juniors boarders follow a similar two‑instalment schedule; Juniors day students may be billed in three termly payments. Exact instalment amounts and deadlines are published in the school's financial conditions.
- Extra expenses (debours) are invoiced separately four times per year and are payable within 30 days of issue. A debours invoice that is not contested in writing within 30 days is deemed accepted.

What tuition and boarding fees include

- Tuition and boarding fees cover: all official academic classes, school books, use of facilities (labs, library, art rooms), internet access, all sports lessons (including ski pass, golf, horse‑riding where applicable), group music and arts activities, accommodation, meals, local tourist taxes for Rolle and Gstaad, household linen and laundering (excluding dry‑cleaning), transport of personal effects between campuses, boarding house activities and many compulsory trips (mountain programme), university guidance and transcripts, and school performances.

What is not included (supplementary fees and mandatory extras)

- Supplementary annual charges (examples):
- International Baccalaureate (IB) section (Classes 1 and T): CHF 13,300 (annual).
- French Baccalaureate section (Classes 1 and T): CHF 4,900 (annual).
- Private individual music lessons: CHF 3,800 per year for one weekly lesson.
- Extra‑curricular mother‑tongue language lessons (for Bac preparation): CHF 2,700 per year per weekly period.
- Certain personal costs (e.g., dry‑cleaning, personal purchases, some optional activities and external exam registration fees) are charged separately. Extra invoices for these items are issued as debours.

Uniform and clothing costs

- Uniform pieces are provided through the school but are charged to families as a supplementary cost; required items include formal blazer(s), insignia, trousers or dress, sports and expedition clothing (sports bag, waterproof jacket, trekking shoes, ski clothing), and possible team kit. Costs vary by item and by whether items are supplied already by the student (e.g., an existing blazer can be re‑badged). A blazer is mandatory; several items may be reused year‑to‑year.

Insurance and medical coverage

- All pupils not domiciled in Switzerland must be covered by the school's collective health and accident insurance for the period 1 September to 31 August; this is a mandatory charge for non‑Swiss domiciled students and covers private ward hospital treatment in Switzerland and limited overseas coverage while travelling. Dental and orthodontic costs are typically not covered except after an accident.

Refunds and withdrawal rules

- The payment for the first term included in the admission deposit is non‑refundable in the event of withdrawal.
- The CHF 15,000 guarantee deposit for extras: any surplus is reimbursed at the end of the term following the student's departure; the deposit covers extra expenses billed as debours.
- If a family cancels an existing registration or re‑enrolment between 1 April and the start of the school year, the amount paid for the first term is not reimbursed. Written notice deadlines for withdrawal (for example, to withdraw a child for the following academic year) are specified and must be respected.

Fee payment options and bank details

- Bank transfer is provided as a payment method; the school publishes its UBS bank account details (IBAN CH90 0024 3243 G764 0169 0, SWIFT UBSWCHZH80A). Families are expected to use the published bank details for transfers and to respect payment deadlines.

Other practical points about fees

- Le Rosey does not pay agents or intermediaries; families who use agents pay them directly. Families are responsible for any additional optional costs not covered by the standard fees. Invoices that are not contested in writing within 30 days are deemed accepted.

Pupil Nationality Mix

Represented by about 70 nationalities.
