About the Institut Monte Rosa
Founded in 1874, Institut Monte Rosa is one of the oldest and most prestigious international boarding schools in Switzerland. Located in Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva, the institute boasts a rich history and tradition of providing elite education to children from families around the world. The school is known for its individual approach, family atmosphere, and highest standards of education, combining Swiss quality with international perspectives. Monte Rosa's educational philosophy is based on the principles of holistic personal development - academic, physical, and social. The institute emphasizes the education of discipline, respect, responsibility, and leadership qualities. The uniqueness of the approach lies in the small class sizes (up to 10 students), which guarantee personal attention to each student, and in the multinational environment that promotes intercultural understanding. In addition to rigorous academic programs, great attention is paid to sports, arts, and etiquette. The main goals of the institution are to prepare students for admission to top universities around the world, educate global citizens, and unfold the individual potential of each student. Monte Rosa makes a significant contribution to the education system in Switzerland, being a model of high-quality private education and admitting students from more than 40 countries.

I have a 6-year-old girl who speaks Spanish and I am looking for a boarding school for her with the option of allowing her to learn several languages at the same time during her school life. I would like her to learn several languages and this school caught my attention since it teaches 7 languages Russian, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese. I would like to know what other options are available
Read in fullHello! I am Alesya .. 1 year ago my daughter and I moved to Mauritius .. She went to college, but since she has white skin and does not speak French well, she has no friends at all. She is very smart, but she cries constantly because she is very lonely. I ask you for help, maybe the children of your school can write her a letter so that she understands that she is not alone in this world. Her name is Eva and she is 14 years old. Our address is Number 3, Avenue Baitka, Stanley, Rose-Hill Mauritius Zablotskaya Eva
