The Swiss secret to high-performing boarding schools

Building a school culture that outlasts generations is a decision made every single day. Institut Le Rosey has been making it for 146 years, and the alumni it produces have taken that culture into some of the most consequential rooms in the world.In this episode of the EdVance Podcast, Christophe Gudin, Director General of Institut Le Rosey, is clear about what is happening to education and who is letting it happen. What begins as a conversation about phones in schools quickly becomes a harder question about ownership: who decides what children learn, in what order, and through whose lens, and why that decision is drifting quietly toward EdTech companies that have never taught a child.He leads a school where no single country ever accounts for more than 10% of the student body, teachers live on campus with their families, and the entire school relocates to the mountains every winter. Every one of those decisions keeps education in the hands of the people closest to children. Christophe knows what happens to schools that hand that responsibility to someone else.Download, subscribe, and share the EdVance Podcast for conversations with the world's most influential education leaders.
