The school also mentions that it receives no government subsidies and does not accept donations, so it has a very limited number of scholarship opportunities.Institut auf dem Rosenberg students hail from 50 different nationalities from all over the world.Institut auf dem RosenbergRosenberg's strict student-privacy rules mean that the school can neither confirm nor deny the names of past alumni, though it has been shared that Karl Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern, and Mario J. Molina, a Nobel Prize winner, were former students.The offspring of oligarchs and German billionaires are also believed to have attended Rosenberg, per previous reporting by Business Insider.Rosenberg's on-campus housing is made up of "art-nouveau-period villas," per the school's website.Institut auf dem RosenbergThe campus sits on 24 acres of private parkland and "carefully manicured gardens" surrounded by century-old nut trees.Located in the heart of campus is Rosenberg's golf training ground, which features a professional multi-hole putting green, hitting mats, and obstacles, including a sand bunker.Rosenberg's residences have cherry hardwood floors and en-suite marble bathrooms.Institut auf dem RosenbergFemale and male students live separately, though they share dorms with other students in the same age group. They also participate in on-campus activities and weekend trips. Rosenberg says that "unlike at many other boarding schools in Switzerland," students can change boarding houses during their time there.Institut auf dem Rosenberg bathrooms.Institut auf dem RosenbergThis policy allows students to change their living arrangements in order to live with friends.The Rosenberg Health & Fitness Club features state-of-the-art training equipment.Institut auf dem RosenbergThe school also provides professional guidance on health, fitness, and nutrition courtesy of the school's "team of expert trainers."The school also has a dedicated multimedia center.Institut auf dem RosenbergThe center features "purpose-built workspaces" for research and self-study and allows students to access physical books, thousands of e-books, and online publications, including university-grade academic journals and primary sources through JSTOR.The science center is named after Nobel Prize winner and Rosenberg alumnus Mario J. Molina.Institut auf dem RosenbergThe science center features a professional laboratory and is "well equipped beyond regular school standards," the school says. Molina, who grew up in Mexico City, began attending Rosenberg at age 11. He explained to the Nobel Foundation that he chose the school because "German was an important language for a future chemist to learn," and he believed that a European education would advance his scientific career.The Academy of Achievement reported that Molina went on to receive the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize in chemistry for his research concerning the decomposition of the ozone layer, which protects Earth from the harmful effects of solar radiation.The school says it has a commitment to providing high-quality food to its students.Institut auf dem RosenbergThe school said its dining staff doesn't use artificial colors, taste intensifiers, or thickening agents such as wheat flour in its dishes whenever possible."Ingredients are sourced locally as well as seasonally, and the production of a vast majority of the dishes is truly fresh, including bases for soups and sauces, so that processed food is reduced to an absolute minimum," the website states.Perhaps the most unusual facility on Rosenberg's campus is the school's SAGA Space Habitat and Future Park.Institut auf dem RosenbergRosenberg students collaborated with SAGA Space Architects in July 2022 to create a life-size, 3D printed "space habitat" that allows students to simulate extraterrestrial environments and living on Earth, per a press release.The on-site habitat has two sleeping cabins on the top floor, a living quarters with two desks, and a workshop.Institut auf dem RosenbergThe workshop even includes a charging station for the Spot robot dog. Rosenberg said in a press release that it was the first and only school in Switzerland to own one.Read the original article on Business Insider
