History

The International School Monte Rosa was founded in 1874 by the Essarts family under the name of ‘Institut des Essarts’. At the time, the school was made for girls only, mainly coming from the Netherlands. The school adopted its current name in the 1960s, and Monte Rosa became co-educational in the early 1960s. The Gademann family has been running and leading the international school ever since then.[2]

Academic curriculum

Academic year programs

The academic program of the Anglo-American section is strongly college-preparatory. Students planning to attend American universities are prepared for College Board examinations and receive the high school diploma on successful completion of 12th grade. Specially designed courses are available for entry to business or other colleges.[3]

Facilities

The school is housed in a nineteenth-century mansion in Territet-Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Tuition fees

As of 2014/15, the annual boarding and academic fees are CHF 61,000 (approximately US$65,000), without extra-fees such as sports, laundry etc.
