When it comes to luxury, Switzerland occupies a list of the world’s most expensive schools. According to Spear’s list, six institutions with six-figure fees have cut, but the most expensive of them is the Auf Dem Rosenberg Institut.
Located in St. Gallen, Switzerland, this prestigious boarding school charges an astonishing $176,000 in tuition and fees each year. Founded in 1889, Rosenberg is one of the oldest and most unique schools in Switzerland, with elementary school students from around 280 students from 60 different countries.
Rosenberg has a long history of educating diplomats, world leaders, Nobel Prize winners and business elites. Covering 25 hectares, its campus features 13 Art Nouveau residences, cutting-edge learning spaces, and unique facilities such as Saga Habitat and Eth Zurich Greenhouse where students study engineering and other disciplines.
The school offers a highly personalized course tailored to the talents of each student, whether in academics, arts, sports or entrepreneurship. It places great emphasis on role development, integrity and social responsibility, and the program focuses on leadership, community service and hands-on learning.
In 2024, Swiss Senior Switzerland (Rosenberg) called Rosenberg the world’s best boarding school, among the top ten international schools in Switzerland. Unlike many institutions, Rosenberg does not accept external funds or donations, further enhancing its exclusivity.
Students have limited ability and selective admission, and new students rarely join the middle of the year. Combining tradition with innovation, the Auf Dem Rosenberg Institute has become the most expensive and elite school in the world, setting a global standard for luxury education.
