The school's campus at Rolle is situated adjacent to Lake Geneva. In 1911, the founder passed the ownership of Le Rosey to his son, Henri-Paul Carnal. In 1917, the school began to go to Gstaad in the [[German language|German]]-speaking canton of Bern for the winter months to escape the dense fog that settles in on Lake Geneva.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.rosey.ch/en/htmlRosey/histoire.html| title=A Rich History| access-date =2007-07-14| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070704055744/http://www.rosey.ch/en/htmlRosey/histoire.html| archive-date =4 July 2007| df=dmy-all}}</ref> In 1931, Lucien Brunel, a former member of the International Red Cross and former director of the Institut Haccius at the Château de Lancy (Geneva), also known as the Grand-Lancy Castle, took on by demand of Henri Carnal, the direction of Rosey until 1949.{{cn|date=April 2025}} In 1947, the third generation of directors, Louis Johannot and Helen Schaub, assumed ownership of Le Rosey. Under the same ownership, Le Rosey admitted girls for the first time in 1967 and opened a separate girls' campus. In 1980, the current owners, Philippe and Anne Gudin de la Sablonnière, became the fourth generation of directors at Le Rosey. Louis Johannot, in an interview with ''[[Life Magazine]]'' in 1965, made a comment that received considerable attention: "The only reason I always try to meet and know the parents better is because it helps me to forgive their children."<ref>{{cite web | date = 7 May 1965 | url = http://www.bartleby.com/63/64/2564.html | title = Simpson's Contemporary Quotations | access-date = 2007-07-18 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071107012020/http://www.bartleby.com/63/64/2564.html | archive-date = 7 November 2007 | df = dmy-all }}</ref> Prior to the introduction of the 10% quota, wherein no more than 10% of the student body may come from one country, different nationalities made up the majority of students at Le Rosey.<ref name="members.forbes.com">{{cite news | date = 5 July 1999 | url = http://members.forbes.com/global/1999/0705/0213126a.html | title = Where you learn to be a billionaire | access-date = 2007-07-14 | work = Forbes | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070711163554/http://members.forbes.com/global/1999/0705/0213126a.html | archive-date = 11 July 2007 | url-status = dead }}</ref> In the 1950s and 1960s, the majority of students were [[Americans|American]], [[Italians|Italian]], or [[Greeks|Greek]]; in the 1970s the majority was [[Arabs|Arab]] or [[Iranian peoples|Iranian]]; in the 1980s the majority was [[Japanese people|Japanese]] or [[Koreans|Korean]]; and in the 1990s the majority was [[Russians|Russian]].<ref name="members.forbes.com"/> During the 1990s, the children of [[Russian oligarchs]], who made up a third of the student body,<ref>{{cite news |date=23 October 1995 |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_n40_v11/ai_17625033 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090122212442/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_n40_v11/ai_17625033 |url-status=dead |archive-date=22 January 2009 |title=The bubonic plague of international crime |access-date=2007-08-08 |work=Insight on the News |first=Arnaud |last=de Borchgrave }}</ref> gained notoriety for "terrorizing" other students, something that is disputed, resulting in the withdrawal of at least one non-Russian student.<ref name="members.forbes.com"/><ref>{{cite news |date=17 February 2007 |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3724/is_200702/ai_n18621914 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081225043226/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3724/is_200702/ai_n18621914 |url-status=dead |archive-date=25 December 2008 |title=Russian Invasion |access-date=2007-08-08 |work=The Spectator }}</ref> In 2014, Le Rosey inaugurated the Paul & Henri Carnal Hall, an arts and learning centre for Le Rosey and the [[La Côte]] region.<ref>{{cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://www.rosey.ch/pdfWeb/20062007/carnalHallJuin07.pdf | title = Carnal Hall at Le Rosey | access-date = 2007-07-17 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070808015033/http://www.rosey.ch/pdfWeb/20062007/carnalHallJuin07.pdf | archive-date = 8 August 2007 | df = dmy-all }}</ref><ref name="Le Rosey plans massive art center">{{cite web | date = 11 October 2007 | url = http://www.24heures.ch/layout/set/print/(contenu)/143998 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120207214907/http://www.24heures.ch/layout/set/print/(contenu)/143998/ | url-status = dead | archive-date = 7 February 2012 | title = Le Rosey plans massive art center }}</ref>
