Director's Welcome

Welcome to Aiglon College.

At Aiglon, education is not just about what you learn—it’s about who you become. Perched high in the Swiss Alps, we offer a rare opportunity to grow in mind, body, and spirit within a global community that dares to embrace challenge, creativity, and compassion.

Our philosophy is simple but profound: learning should inspire curiosity, develop character, resilience, and a lifelong sense of purpose. From junior to senior school, students are encouraged to ask bold questions and think deeply. Beyond it, our world-class expeditions programme offers life-changing adventures—whether summiting peaks, camping under the stars, or learning to navigate the challenges of the natural world with confidence, and kindness.

But Aiglon is more than its remarkable setting or rigorous curriculum. It’s a place where our founding values matter. Through the spirit that binds our community, students and staff discover what it means to act with integrity, generosity, and courage—even when no one is watching. These lessons stay with us for life, shaping leaders who understand the value of service as well as success.

Our alumni often tell us that Aiglon taught them to step outside their comfort zones and embrace the unfamiliar. Whether it’s a new subject, a creative passion, or a mountain climb, they learn to persevere, reflect, and grow. This is what it means to live with purpose—and it starts here.

I invite you to come and experience Aiglon for yourself. The whole family is invited to be part of this journey. You will find a school where students don’t just aim for the top—they learn to bring others with them.
