School Governance
Aiglon College is wholly owned and overseen by a non-profit association responsible for enabling the School to operate in accordance to the aims and principles of the Founder, John Corlette.
The School operates under its legal name, Aiglon College Services SA (ACSSA). The company is fully owned by the Aiglon College Association (ACA), a non-profit association established pursuant to the Swiss Civil Code and registered in Chesières, Switzerland.
Three overarching bodies are responsible for the management and development of the School. The information and makeup of each of these groups is presented below.
The non-profit Association is the sole shareholder of the company ACSSA. It is responsible for providing broad oversight of the School, directing its strategic and fundraising priorities to ensure the School's continued alignment with its Guiding Principles.
The Association maintains two categories of membership, ordinary members and honorary members. Current membership is listed below. The bodies of the Association include its General Assembly, the Board, Nomination Committee, Auditors and Fundraising Committee.
