Overview

Le Rosey's philosophy is inspired by what Harvard educationalist Howard Gardner has called "multiple intelligences": "its aim is to develop all Roseans’ talents through academic, sporting and artistic programmes."^[11] The school offers a demanding bilingual and bicultural education with the language of instruction being French or English depending on the student's academic program, however, students may take up to four language classes while at Le Rosey.^[12] Students may sit either the International Baccalaureate, the most widely recognized pre-university educational program,^[13] or the Francophone-oriented French Baccalaureate. To sustain an international atmosphere at Le Rosey, there exists a quota where no more than 10% of the students may come from a single country. The student body, ages 7 through 18, is composed of pupils from approximately 52 different countries, with 60% of the students being European.^[14] The school's current enrollment, approximately 380 pupils, is equally divided male/female, with 190 boys and 190 girls. The majority of students are between the ages of 14 and 18.^[15] The Student-teacher ratio is 5:1 with the average class size being less than 10 students, and the average teacher's length of stay at Le Rosey is over ten years.^[16] Students at Le Rosey are nicknamed "Roséens" (in French) or "Roseans" (in English), and former students are labeled "Les Anciens Roséens".^[17] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

History

A 1669 watercolor painting of the Château Le Rosey near Rolle, Switzerland. This is the only preserved image that depicts the original Chateau.

Château Le Rosey (depicted at left), a Feudal chateau located on Le Rosey's main campus at Rolle, dates to the Middle Ages and presently houses Le Rosey's central reception area.^[21] In 1880, the site of the Le Rosey campus was chosen by the school's founder, Paul-Emile Carnal, "a lover of nature, history and the countryside". The Le Rosey campus at Rolle is situated adjacent the famous Lake Geneva. In 1911, the founder passed the ownership of Le Rosey to his son, Henri-Paul Carnal. In 1917, the school began to go to Gstaad in the German-speaking Canton of Berne for the winter months to escape the dense fog that settles in on Lake Geneva.^[22] In 1947, the third generation of directors, Louis Johannot and Helen Schaub, assumed ownership of Le Rosey. Under the same ownership, in 1967, Le Rosey admitted girls for the first time and opened a separate girls' campus. In 1980, the current owners, Philippe and Anne Gudin de la Sablonnière, became the fourth generation of Directors at Le Rosey. Louis Johannot, in an interview with Life Magazine in 1965, made a comment that received considerable attention: "The only reason I always try to meet and know the parents better is because it helps me to forgive their children."^[23] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Associations

l'Association Internationale des Anciens Roséens (AIAR), the International Association of Former Roseans, is Le Rosey's alumni association, the members of which have been major contributors to 20th-century world history.^[44][45] The AIAR, a prestigious network of former students, has alumni representatives in most countries and in many major cities across the world. Le Rosey's first alumni association, the "Old Rosey Association", was created on July 21, 1922 by a small group of alumni in the presence of the son of the school's founder, Henri Carnal. In 1926, the "Belgian Old Rosey Association" was founded, however, like the Old Rosey Association, it was declining due to slow international communication between alumni.^[46] The current alumni association, the AIAR, was established in 1964.

Carnal Hall

This article or section contains information about expected future buildings or structures. Some or all of this information may be speculative, and the content may change as building construction begins.

Carnal Hall, a planned CHF 45 million (estimated $38 million USD) Arts and Performance Centre, will be situated on Le Rosey's main campus at Rolle. Carnal Hall, named in honor of the founder Paul Carnal, his wife Marguerite, and their son Henri-Paul, will serve as a day-to-day arts centre for the students of Le Rosey and also serve as a cultural link between the students and the people of the La Côte region.^[49] The plans and designs for Carnal Hall were created by a former Rosean, Japanese architect Paul Noritaka Tange, of Tange Associates in Tokyo.^[50] Carnal Hall will be owned by the Rosey Foundation, a State-approved non-profit organization established in 1999, however, Institut Le Rosey will operate the Centre and will be responsible for organizing performances and functions. Separating ownership of Carnal Hall from Institut Le Rosey and granting it to the Rosey Foundation allows the public to contribute to the financing of the project. Institut Le Rosey will be the principle donor of the project. At the center of Carnal Hall there will be a performance hall seating up to 800 people with a modular balcony capable of seating an additional 800 people. The surrounding buildings will be composed of Carnal Hall's "Learning Centre", which will include 15 sound-proofed music classrooms, an additional 50-seat theatre, and 2 large art studios. Carnal Hall will also feature a conference room seating between 150 and 200 people, a professional kitchen for culinary instruction, and a 100-seat restaurant with an outdoor terrace for an additional 200 people.

The Rosey-Abantara Project

In 2004, Institut Le Rosey's Charity Committee undertook a humanitarian program to construct and maintain a private school, the Rosey-Abantara School, in the suburbs of Bamako, the capital city of Mali, in Saharan Africa.^[52] Rosey-Abantara is considered the most important charity project in Le Rosey's history. The project is entirely financed by the Le Rosey Charity Committee, with costs to date amounting to CHF 1,200,000 (approximately $1 million USD). An additional CHF 200,000 (approximately $167,000 USD) will be needed to purchase additional land for sports fields. By summer of 2007, primary construction work on the school will be completed and work will begin on the interior. By autumn of 2007, an estimated 1,500 Malian children will attend Rosey-Abantara. An independent construction report, by Alfrique Expertises, was published in May 2007, with the report finding the Rosey-Abantara school's structure to be solid. Le Rosey students and teachers undertake humanitarian missions throughout the year to the Rosey-Abantara project to teach Malian students.^[53] Humanitarianism is the view that all people should be treated with the respect and dignity they deserve as human beings, and that advancing the well-being of humanity is a noble goal. ...
