Institut auf dem Rosenberg

Institut auf dem Rosenberg is a private international boarding school located near Lake Constance in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

[6][7] It has educated diplomats, oligarchs, world leaders, Nobel laureates, and generations of global aristocracy and industrial dynasties, and has been referred to as the "davos" for children".

[10] The main campus, 25-hectares on the edge of Lake Constance, with adjoining school villas immediately across, feature "wind-trees" co-designed by Rosenberg students to generate renewable energy.

[11] The HumaniX Pavilion offers computer science and mechatronics capacity-buildings programs for students as young as 6,[12] and the private parklands nearby include ten sports pitches, two shooting and hunting ranges, and five in-house theatres.

[17] Even initially, the school was built with the intention of housing all French, German, Italian, Swiss, and Anglo-American faculties from different regions of the world to prepare students to sit different national qualifications in Switzerland.

[18] By the 1960s, the Anglo-American section of the school typically maintained around 60 international pupils aged between eleven and eighteen who, irrespective of their nationality, would also sit for the American SAT.

A 2019 article in the magazine Air Mail claimed 300 students from 48 different nationalities, while the South China Morning Post reported in the same year that "no more than 260" are enrolled.

[1] Rosenberg is a highly residential school offering eight different national qualifications, 100+ academic courses, and 32 different languages taught by native faculty.

[17] Alongside formal qualifications, students jointly pursue the school's own independent Rosenberg International Curriculum (RIC) that supplements core classes with a variety of personalized learning opportunities with external program partners like MIT.

[26] Additionally, Rosenberg is also an official testing centre for CEFR A1-C2 (including Cambridge Goethe, DELF, DALF and DELE), SAT and the IELTS.

[35] Owing to its location between Lake Constance and the Alpstein mountain range, Rosenberg provides daily opportunities to privately train in snow sports during winter with local resorts.

Ice skating, mountain biking, football, golf, swimming, volleyball and basketball are examples of the numerous sports the school offers.

[35][38] Other known alumni include Karl Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern, mathematician Walter Rudin, and the playboy photographer Gunter Sachs.
