Aiglon Ethos
Our school was founded on a distinctive ethos: the balanced development of mind, body and spirit. This philosophy underpins everything we do at Aiglon, both inside and outside the classroom.
Aiglon College was founded in 1949 as the living manifestation of John Corlette’s pioneering educational vision. As Founder of the school and its Head Master for 23 years, he established a set of values and educational priorities which remain at the very core of Aiglon’s identity.
We are committed to ensuring that these founding values and priorities continue to provide a strong and coherent foundation for the school. We do not see this as an obligation to resist change and evolution; rather we are dedicated to ensuring that an Aiglon education remains relevant and appropriate for the young men and women of today, preparing them for tomorrow and a world in constant motion.
Learning at Aiglon
To ensure that every new student has the opportunity to thrive within our community, Aiglon maintains a selective admissions process, but not in the traditional sense.
More than a classroom
Our educational programme requires students to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach. This means that achieving the Aiglon diploma involves more than just excelling in classroom studies; students must actively participate in and complete all components of our holistic programme. This comprehensive approach is essential for their overall development and aligns with the values and responsibilities that Aiglon has valued since its founding.
Student Life
A Place for Everyone
Our boarding houses are the beating heart of student life at Aiglon’s campus. One of the great advantages of our boarding school education, they are diverse, passionate and unique. Speak to any of the school’s alumni and they will tell you about the love they have for their house.
But for us, house life is also just the beginning. A truly holistic education means the student experience is foundational to education. The dynamics of how we live together on Aiglon’s beautiful alpine campus are just as important as our academic expectations. We believe that each of our students can make a home here.
