Welcome to Aiglon
Everything we do has been thought out with reference to our basic aim and developed from our guiding purpose.
Our founder, John Corlette, had a unique vision of what education should be when he enrolled the first six students in 1949. Aiglon continues to be a visionary place today, one where we are proud to nurture the next generation of global citizens and leaders.
At Aiglon, you will join a diverse community of enlightened, engaged young people who are ambitious to make a positive difference. Our students enjoy outstanding educational opportunities in a beautiful, safe and secure location. And, by the time you leave us, you will be fully prepared for the next stage of your life.
Our school community includes students from all over the world – we are in fact a global hub in our own right! Currently approximately 60 nationalities are represented within the Aiglon student body, from diverse religions, languages and cultures. Many of our students are seasoned international travellers with links to more than one country.
Students follow the challenging International GCSE (IGCSE) and International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB Diploma) programmes. We also offer optional courses for the American SAT exams. We provide expert support for students who speak English as an additional language, who go on to take Cambridge and International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exams.
All students take part in our programme of outdoor expeditions and adventures, which is a unique and distinctive feature of life at the school. You will also enjoy many opportunities in sport, drama, art, music, and community service.
The Aiglon student body includes close to 70 juniors (age 9-13), nearly 300 Senior School students (age 13-18), including just under 140 in the IB Diploma years (age 16-18). While new students most commonly join us at 9, 11, 13 or 16, we offer rolling admission and welcome applications at any age from 9 to 16.

Welcome to Aiglon
We encourage all students to develop their skills and talents, and we work hard to build their character and resilience.Our students sit a variety of International GCSE (IGCSE) exams, GCSE exams, and O Levels in the Fourth and Fifth Forms. In the Sixth Form, we follow the challenging International Baccalaureate Diploma programme (IB Diploma) to ensure access to the world’s leading universities. We also help students prepare for other exams such as the American SATs, and a variety of English examinations (IELTS, First Certificate in English (FCE) and Cambridge English: Preliminary (PET)).
We were conceived as a small school and we continue to be so; students receive exceptional levels of individual attention. We provide excellent support for students whose first language is not English, and for those who have mild dyslexia or other moderate special educational needs.
A grading system called “Mark Reading” is used in every year group in the school, with marks given for both effort and attainment. These marks are used to calculate grade point averages and award end-of-year prizes. During each term, students also take internal exams in most subjects. Parents receive regular updates and are welcome to contact their child’s tutor or Houseparents with any concerns.

French Section
The French section is proud of its rigorous yet supportive academic environment whereby it offers a full French language curriculum for 11 to 18 year olds taught by teachers trained in France.
The classes in the French Section extend from 6ème to Terminale, and prepare students for the official French government examinations – the Diplôme National du Brevet at the end of 3ème and the French Baccalaureate (series L, ES and S) at the end of Terminale. The subjects taught in the French Section conform to the requirements of the French Ministry of Education.
Our teachers are provided with ongoing training in their teaching through workshops and exchanges both at Beau Soleil and Champittet, or through courses available in Switzerland or France.
