We opened with record enrolment and so have much to be thankful for in this remarkable community of learners. At the October meeting of the Governing Board, we presented our impressive IB results for our graduating students from our three secondary schools in the Foundation. Most have now moved on to their university studies at a range of institutions, mainly in North America, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. (You can read more about university guidance at Ecolint on pages 10 and 11.) GIRLS AND STEM LEARNING Each year we analyse these results to look for trends and patterns. For example we look at gender. Sometimes, as has been a feature of many education systems, we have seen a tendency for girls to achieve higher marks than boys overall. This year, the Board discussion turned to why there are so few girls taking The new STEM Centre at La Grande Boissière Physics and Mathematics at Higher Level in the Foundation. We talked about how important it is, as early as possible, to STEM learning is one of our Guiding order their own priorities and decide their ensure through our discourse and attitudes Principles for 21st Century Learning own fate.” And when we read about the (sl.ecolint.ch/principles) and the new misogyny and objectification of women by centre is the fruit of the Foundation’s the President-elect of one of the world’s rich collaboration with EPFL, the world- superpowers we all realize that we must renowned university based in Lausanne. be vigilant and resolute as we work with The skills that we want to develop here today’s and tomorrow’s students to ensure are divergent thinking; interdisciplinarity; that our boys and our girls learn to live out innovation and entrepreneurship; project- Article 4 of our Charter in their respect for based learning; group work; and real each other, for the benefit of all. world problem solving.

  • Swiss Schools and Lifestyle Guide
    Swiss SCHOOL & LIFESTYLE GUIDE A guide to the educational system in Switzerland and the best locations to live, created in partnership with Carfax Consultants. Welcome letter Switzerland remains one of the world’s most revered and sought after locations and it is no surprise as we explore on page 6; the country is consistently rated strongly for its high standards of living, excellent education, quality of life, a robust and stable economy and favourably low levels of tax, crime and poverty. Private individuals who are drawn by this safe and dependable environment regularly approach Knight Frank to seek our recommendations and guidance from over 12 years working across this market. The Knight Frank Swiss Schools and Lifestyle Guide was developed alongside Carfax Consultants and the collective knowledge from our network of over 13 offices spread strategically throughout the country to provide a comprehensive overview of the top private schools, plus a guide to some of the various lifestyle options available and information on how to purchase. The guide considers both clients seeking permanent residence (see pages 4 & 5) as well as those who desire a holiday home or just to invest in Swiss real estate as a non-resident (see page 12). The Benefits of a Swiss Education (see page 14) offers a unique insight by Carfax Consultants for those not so familiar with the variety of options on offer. The experience that Carfax can provide to help clients place their children within the right school is paramount to a successful relocation. We hope you find the information useful and if you have any questions, or wish to find out more about how our team can help you find your dream home, with great educational options close by, please get in touch.

    1 Deputy Head/Director of Academics from September 2018 Candidate Briefing Page The Nature of the Post 2 Le Rosey: Background 3 Academics at Le Rosey 3 The School Atmosphere 4 Features of Rosey Life 5 In Conclusion 6 The Future 6 Job Description 7 Characteristics of the Ideal Candidate 7 Salary and Conditions 8 Application and Appointment Procedure and Schedule 8 2 Institut Le Rosey, Switzerland’s oldest and most prestigious boarding school, is seeking an outstanding educational leader from September 2018. Given the unusual nature of Le Rosey, it is envisaged that the person appointed will work closely with the current post holder, Mr. Michael Robert Gray, from September 2018 and take over completely in September 2019 when Mr. Gray steps down. The Nature of the Post Le Rosey, as a Swiss proprietary school originally drawing inspiration from French as well as from both British and North American boarding school models, has a hierarchical structure and terminology of its own. Its Directeur-général (DG), M. Christophe Gudin, combines the role of an on-campus Chairman of the Board with some of the traditional British Head Teacher’s responsibilities. The latter role is however largely shared with the deputy DG (Directeur-général adjoint), whose official title is currently “Headmaster” (a traditional Rosey term perhaps imitating US usage). This is therefore a role which encompasses that of Academic Head or Principal and is at the same time slightly more than that of a Deputy Head – although it is this term (DH) that will be employed in this document. Background 3 Established in 1880, Institut Le Rosey (often referred to as Le Rosey or simply Rosey) is the most well-known and academically successful as well as the oldest and, with over 430 students, the largest Swiss boarding school.
