Questions about care? We have the answers.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IDP®?

Our artisanal guidance ensures that each student receives the education that is most suited for their strengths and ambitions. Planning ahead, monitoring progress and providing expertise or support are the cornerstones of our individual development plans. Our experience shows that IDP® encourages students to reflect on their goals and achievement while growing self-awareness and a sense of ownership for their education.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD FEELS SICK?

A cold or a seasonal virus are the most commonly occurring sicknesses and we all catch them, at least once a year. Students who feel unwell inform their house tutor and the school’s health coordinator who liaises with our dedicated school doctor. We will arrange for students to see the doctor in most cases, even with minor symptoms, because we value a professional opinion. After all, we are the Artisans of Education, not of Medical Care. For more serious illnesses we rely on a network of specialists and with all major regional hospitals just a few minute’s drive away, our students receive the best health care they can get.

WHAT IS THE BEST AGE TO JOIN BOARDING SCHOOL?

Generally speaking, the more time students spend at Rosenberg, the more we can achieve together. The ideal age to join boarding school also depends on the individual child. For example, we have boarding students joining our Primary School who take to Rosenberg like a fish in the water after only a few hours at school. At same time, we have Middle School students that need a few more days to adjust to their new environment. However, based on our experience, students of all ages tend to adjust to our boarding lifestyle surprisingly quickly.

WHAT HAPPENS ON WEEKENDS?

We offer a wide range of fun-packed activities and excursions over the weekends. Programmes include popular options such as paintball, sight-seeing in Switzerland or our husky dog-sledge experience. On dedicated community weekends our students come together to collaborate on school-wide projects in areas such as philanthropy and sustainability. In addition, our students can sign-up for Talent & Enrichment weekend trips that we offer a few times per school year, visiting places like Rome, London or Paris.

DO YOU HAVE A SCHOOL UNIFORM?

Institut auf dem Rosenberg does not have a school uniform but a dress-code. From Monday to Friday, during breakfast and lunch, as well as during all academic lessons, our “formal dress” code applies. During this time, our boys wear suits and girls wear elegant trousers, skirts or dresses. At all other times during the week including at dinners or weekends, our students wear “smart casual”, which entails the option to wear sneakers and polo-shirts.
