Aiglon College

The school was founded in 1949 by John C. Corlette, who was a teacher at Gordonstoun, where he was influenced by that school's founder, Kurt Hahn. Corlette established principles and practices that were aligned with Hahn's emphasis on the place of adventure and service in education. Aiglon College, alongside Gordonstoun, Schule Schloss Salem, Abbotsholme School, Box Hill School and Anavryta Experimental Lyceum, was a founding member of the Round Square, established to promote Hahnian values and links between schools that embraced Hahn's educational principles. The school began with six students and, save for a few exceptions, remained a boys' school until 1968, when it became fully co-educational.[8]

Aiglon College Junior School caters for boys and girls in years 5 to 8 (US grades 4–7). The Senior School caters for students in years 9 to 13 (US Grades 8–12). Students are prepared for GCSE and IGCSE examinations at the end of year 11 (Grade 10) and for the International Baccalaureate in the final two years. Throughout the school, the curriculum is taught in English, with the exception of languages and literature.[9]

All students are required to take part in expeditions every term. These include hiking, camping, mountain biking, kayaking, rock-climbing, ski mountaineering, and other outdoor challenges.[10][11]

The school is run by a volunteer Board of Directors who oversee the school’s strategic direction and continued alignment with its founding principles. The school’s senior management team responsible for its day-to-day management is called the School Council and is led by the Head of School.[2]

Aiglon’s campus consists of approximately 40 different buildings and chalets spread across approximately 60,000 m². The school has eight senior boarding houses and two junior houses. The village campus is a combination of existing chalets and renovated hotels joined with purpose-built buildings.[12][4]
