Five generations of owner-directors have guided Le Rosey and continually striven to enhance a unique educational institution providing students with an international education. The original Le Rosey offered a generalist education focusing on commerce and languages and began with just three pupils. In 1916, Le Rosey began wintering in Gstaad, a move that shaped its renowned winter program. In 1967, after 87 years as an all-boys school, Le Rosey welcomed girls following a merger with neighbouring La Combe. The school operates on two campuses—the Rolle Campus in Rolle and the Winter Campus in Gstaad—with bilingual academics leading to the International Baccalaureate Diploma or French Baccalaureate, a worldwide alumni network numbering over 6,000, and the Paul & Henri Carnal Hall serving as a modern arts and culture space.
The Student Committee is elected by Rosey students and is responsible for organizing social and leisure activities, promoting the integration of new students, and ensuring there is no bullying within the Rosey community; it also represents students before a disciplinary council. Clubs supplement the arts and sports with cultural and literary clubs, debate clubs, the Model United Nations, and the Yearbook preparation club. Rosey students participate in charitable activities coordinated with their Solidarity Committee, including the Rosey Abantara project in Mali and the Rosey Micro Finance Fund, along with humanitarian trips to Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe.
Institut Le Rosey is a private international boarding school for ages 8 to 18, with two campuses in Rolle and Gstaad. The school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma, the French Baccalaureate, the British curriculum and the International Primary Curriculum, with English and French as languages of instruction in a bilingual framework. Students choose a main language (French or English) and study most subjects in that language, while at least one subject is studied in the other. A Le Rosey Bilingual Diploma is awarded at the end of the Pre-Bac programme, in addition to the IB Diploma or French Baccalaureate. The Rolle campus sits on 28 hectares; the Gstaad Campus supports winter and mountain learning. Facilities include the φlo building, the Paul & Henri Carnal Hall (900–1000-seat concert venue), a Learning Centre and on-site sports fields. The school offers 100+ extracurricular options and a CASC programme with charity and leadership opportunities.
