Private schools represent an important aspect of life in Saanenland which boasts three academic institutions: Le Rosey, Kennedy School and Gstaad International School.

Institut le Rosey, whose main campus is in Rolle (in the canton of Vaud) for the autumn and spring terms, has been residing on its winter campus in Gstaad since 1916 and played a determining role in the development of the region to what it is today.

Gstaad International School then established its campus in Gstaad in 1962, followed by the Kennedy school in Saanen in 1971. This school was formerly a home for children, founded in 1950. From 1971 to 2011 JFK was under the direction of the Lovell family. In 2011 the Lovells retired and the the Kennedy School became an non-profit foundation.

Since then, thousands of students, families and teachers have become ambassadors to the rest of the world, praising the reputation and lifestyle of the Saanenland region.
