You don't chose the school, the school chooses you.
From Spear's Magazine, September 3:
The Spear’s list of the world’s most expensive schools now features six institutions charging six figure fees, and they’re all in Switzerland.
.....MUCH MORECatering for the sons and daughters of the world’s richest families, these schools are highly exclusive, supremely well equipped, and eye-wateringly expensive.
All fees are denominated in US dollars and only apply to boarders, though some offer a lower rate for day-students.
What are the world’s most expensive schools?
Institut auf dem Rosenberg ($145,500)
High above the Swiss city of St Gallen, sits the most expensive boarding school in the world, Institut auf dem Rosenberg. Only 230 students attend the school, which keeps class sized to around eight.
In these classes, children are taught to develop forward thinking concepts. In the school’s ‘climate garden’, for example, students examine how plants behave at higher temperatures. In the engineering school, students learn directly from firms such as Boston Dynamics, who take them through the development and potential application of their robots.
After school students can explore the 25-acre grounds, learn to shoot, golf, or dance, before retiring to one of the thirteen beautifully restored art nouveau villas that comprise the boarding houses.
Institut Le Rosey ($98250 – $137,250)
The ‘school of kings’, Le Rosey’s blue-blooded boarders have included King Juan Carlos of Spain, King Fuad II of Egypt and King Albert II of Belgium, and countless other aspirational royals.
It is also the only school in the world to boast of two campuses. One, on the edge of Lake Geneva, boasts swimming pools, tennis courts, a school yacht, shooting range, an equestrian centre, and a recently completed £40 million concert hall, which resembles a spacecraft and has hosted the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. But each year, for the winter term, the entire school decamps to Gstaad where students spend their afternoons flying down the slopes
When Spear’s editor Edwin Smith visited earlier this year, the school was under a cloud, facing allegations from the parents of one student that the school was ‘fast becoming a playground for rich students to do as they please’.
Aiglon College ($135,250)....
