Director's Welcome

Welcome to one of the world's most distinctive international boarding schools.

Our natural setting of outstanding beauty, our diverse and dynamic student body, our highly experienced and motivated staff team, our rigorous and broad curriculum and our global reputation for setting challenge at the core of all learning — these lie at the heart of Aiglon College. Through the balanced development of mind, body and spirit, we foster an appetite for a responsible life, well-led in the quest for self-fulfilment and the service of others.

At Aiglon, we believe in enquiry-based learning. Students are stimulated to go beyond the accumulation of factual knowledge and to address the greater questions that frame our world. We celebrate creativity and originality as vital qualities that equip individuals to reach new horizons of knowledge, appreciation and understanding.

Aiglon's remarkable national and cultural diversity is an inspiring example of how, on a small scale, we are able to build a harmonious and fulfilled community.

Our alpine location provides exceptional opportunities for personal development outside the classroom. Our unique expeditions programme develops self-reliance, team and leadership skills, determination, and a love of the natural environment.

Students who leave Aiglon are typically confident, gregarious, dynamic, entrepreneurial and empathetic. They try new things; they ask probing questions; they dare. If you have an appetite for challenge and an ambition to make a positive impact on our world, Aiglon could well be the school for you.

We hope you can visit us soon.
