Artisans of Education

Institut auf dem Rosenberg, the Artisans of Education, leads the way to redefine the way children and young adults learn, embracing the challenges of the 21^st century.

The rapid advance of technology and its transformative power, affecting communities and economies worldwide, will impact human lives more significantly than during any previous period of human history. While traditional education may not yet be completely obsolete, Institut auf dem Rosenberg pursues a mission to nurture profound human skills such as creativity, ethics and interpersonal skills, balanced with an education that encourages future leaders to see advancements in technology as their opportunity.

The Swiss boarding school, which ranks at the top of the best schools worldwide, has recently been recognised as “Most Prestigious Boarding School” by CV Magazine and is widely considered to be a pioneer in cutting-edge, holistic education. Nurturing a true entrepreneurial spirit, the school offers its international body of students a unique developmental environment well beyond enabling outstanding academic results.

Since its foundation in 1889, the school is renowned for its individual approach to education. Rosenberg’s Individual Development Plan – IDP’s Team ensures that each student’s education matches their strengths, nurtures their talents and maximises their full potential.

At the heart of the school’s philosophy stands its unique “Talent & Enrichment Programme”, offering more than 40 co-curricular courses and well over 20 sports options. The co-curricular courses, many of which are taught at first year university level, enable students at this boarding school to acquire knowledge and skills in fields that inspire while adding real-life context to their studies. Co-curricular courses are offered in a wide range of fields of interest, and include programmes such as entrepreneurship, product design, robotics, philanthropy as well as leadership to name just a few.

The school’s diverse strategic partnerships and collaborations with industry and thought-leaders such as ETH Zurich (No 1 Tech and Science University in Europe), the robotics and automation company ABB or Leading Hotels of the World allow students to gain first-hand experience in areas such as coding, artificial intelligence and hotel management, working directly with professionals and gaining vital insight.

Also unique to this boarding school, the campus features dedicated facilities such as the first-of-its-kind Creative Lab, with virtual reality equipment, hologram makers as well as an industry grade robot specialising in human interaction.

While the Rosenberg education is based on core values that require a strong commitment from each student to develop and achieve to the best of their individual abilities, students are not expected to relinquish the amenities of live. The boarding school sets unmatched standards in accommodation, with most rooms featuring cherry wood floors and private en-suite bathrooms. Michelin Star trained chefs redefine the premise of school meals, preparing healthy and diverse meals while catering for individual dietary requirements. Unlike the dusty preconceptions of conventional boarding schools, Rosenberg's staff to student ratio of 1:2 ensures that students receive excellent pastoral care and enables their families to follow their well-being closely.
