Spear’s Review

Designed to foster the entrepreneurs of the next generation – and to address some of the problems of mainstream attitudes and approaches to education – Rosenberg offers a unique approach to schooling. An individual development plan is written for every student, following the proprietary Rosenberg International Curriculum. Highly creative and ‘future-orientated’, the Rosenberg method belies the school’s traditional setting.

Head teacher

Bernhard Gademann, who heads the 133-year-old school that has been run by four generations of his family, had a somewhat unconventional route into education, working in finance and technology before taking the helm of the Institut.
