Rosey presentations around the world  |
| How to become a Rosean |
| |
Step 1
Send the necessary documentation by mail (registration
form, current school recommendation, grades
and teachers’ comments from the two
most recent academic years).
Step 2
You will be invited to spend a day on campus
so that you can familiarize yourself with
the school, get a feel for its atmosphere,
meet the admissions team, be interviewed and
sit an entrance exam so that we can get to
know you better. If you are unable to come
to Le Rosey, the admissions examination will
be sent to your current school and the interview
will take place if possible at the home of
a former student in your locality.
Step 3
The admissions team will examine your complete
dossier in order to decide whether you will
be admitted. We strongly recommend that you
make your application as early as possible
(for example, between November and March to
guarantee a timely response to your application.
Le Rosey has a limit of no more than 380 places.
Every year, a waiting list, which varies according
to age, nationality (as we apply a quota system
of no more than 10% of one particular nationality
or group of nations) and gender is established;
as soon as a place becomes available, an offer
will be sent to the candidate at the top of
the waiting list. Le Rosey accepts 80 to 90
new students per year selected from, on average,
between 400 applications. |

| What is
the “profile” of a future Rosean? |
| |
Intellectual
capabilities: Anyone applying to be
a student at Le Rosey should have the intellectual
capability which will eventually lead to him/her
to follow either the French or International
Baccalaureate diploma programme.
For those students applying to the Junior
or Cadet section (students aged between 8
and 13/14 years old), the ability to speak
French or English is not absolutely necessary;
for students applying to the lower Senior
section, “Jeunes Seniors” (14
to 16 years old), we would strongly recommend
a good working knowledge of one of the two
languages of instruction; for the Senior section
(the last two years of school), it is indispensable
to be confident working in French or English.
Personality: Most children and adolescents
will find that after a period of adaptation,
they will feel comfortable with Le Rosey way
of life. |
| |
| However,
some children may not be suited to coming
to Le Rosey in such cases as the following: |
| |
A child who has severe learning difficulties:
tutors are on hand to provide assistance to
students with limited difficulties but the
school does not have the facilities for extreme
cases.
A child who has a violent or anti-social nature.
Le Rosey has a strict disciplinary code which
such be understood and adhered to.
A child who has been spoilt and who is used
to having his/her own way: life and discipline
at Le Rosey are demanding and it is likely
that such a change would be too difficult!
Anyone who has a drug habit, in whatever form. |

Scholarship Information |
Le Rosey, in collaboration with the Le Rosey Foundation, offers a number of scholarships every year to talented pupils who aim to play an eminent role in society. Scholarship students are selected from September to April every year. |
| |
Are there any special conditions a scholarship student must fulfill? |
- Scholarship students’ families must be able and willing to provide complete details of their financial status, so as to demonstrate that would not normally be able to meet the standard financial conditions for admission to Le Rosey. The amount of financial aid they receive is based on these statements.
- By definition, scholarship students tend to be exceptional individuals. Nevertheless, they are treated in exactly the same as all other students and their scholarship status is not made public.
- Since it is expected that all scholarship students will remain at Le Rosey for a minimum of two years, their performance is monitored by the school and the Foundation before their scholarship is renewed.
|
| |
What sorts of students obtain scholarships? |
Academic excellence, although vitally important, is not the only criterion, and character, talent and motivation are also taken into consideration. Although we do not operate a checklist approach, the following are the sorts of qualities and characteristics we are looking for: |
 |
- A strong academic background, indicating that the applicant is in the top 5% of his or her age range.
- A good command of English and/or French and the ability to follow demanding academic programs in either or both languages ; we are likely to give preference to students with a good command of French and an international outlook as evidenced (for example) by ability and interest in foreign languages.
- The potential to make a notable contribution to the artistic, sporting or humanitarian activities of the school.
- Evidence of ambition, vision and a mature view of his/her possibilities and responsibilities.
We do not accept applications for the final year of secondary education or post-graduate students. |
| |
What procedures should I follow? |
| Download and complete the application form and then send it sandra@roseyfoundation.org who will contact you as soon as it has been received. This and all accompanying documentation should be returned as soon as possible. Wherever possible, each candidate will interviewed and will sit entrance exams in Mathematics, English and/or French at Le Rosey, or if necessary overseas through the offices of an alumni representative from the AIAR. |
