Swiss school woos Mumbai students

A leading boarding school in Switzerland, with alumni from high-profile business families and monarchs across the world, is conducting a promotional event first time in Mumbai.

Authorities from the Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland, one of the oldest (built in 1880) international boarding schools, were in the city to promote their school.

“We are treating Mumbai as a special case. Though we restrict our intake capacity from every country to 10% of the total strength, we want more people from this city to know about the school,” said Michael Grey, the school’s headmaster.

“We offer the International Baccalaureate programme, which has worldwide acceptance. Several international schools in India also offer it,” added Grey.
