Governance

Thanks to the bequest of our Founder, John Corlette, the school is wholly owned and overseen by a non-profit association – the Aiglon College Association (ACA).

Aiglon 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.

The ACA is made up of people with diverse expertise, skill sets and backgrounds who have a direct tie to our community: current and former parents, alumni and friends.

ACA Member biographies are available at the bottom of this page.

ACSSA – Aiglon College Services SA

Overview

In order to function — to employ people, pay bills, commission services — Aiglon needs an operating company with more hands-on, legal responsibility. Aiglon College Services SA (ACSSA) is fully owned by the Aiglon College Association (ACA), which is the sole shareholder. It is governed by the ACSSA Board, which in turn reports to the ACA. The ACSSA has the power to conduct any financial, commercial or real estate activity that directly or indirectly relates to its purpose: to operate the education of Aiglon’s students.

ACA The Aiglon College Association

Overview

The ACA is currently made up of 37 volunteers. Its purpose is to ensure that the school is being governed correctly and that funds are being used for the right purposes by Aiglon’s operating company, Aiglon College Services SA (ACSSA). As a not-for-profit organisation, all profits must be reinvested into the school. Additionally, the ACA is the body that receives Aiglon’s philanthropic donations. Within the ACA, there are specialist committees covering all aspects of the school governance, such as finance, education, wellbeing, investment and advancement.

The Association maintains two categories of membership, ordinary members and honorary members. The current membership is listed on this page. The bodies of the Association include the General Assembly, the Board, the Nomination Committee, the Auditors and the Advancement Committee.

ACA Board

All the specialist committees report to the ACA Board. The Board has overall responsibility for the workings of both the ACA and the ACSSA and is voted for by the ACA.

Nomination Committee

This committee is the only one that doesn’t report to the ACA Board. Instead, it reports to the General Assembly, an annual general meeting of all ordinary ACA members plus honorary members. Ordinary and honorary members of the ACA are appointed upon recommendation by the Nomination Committee. Nominations are voted on in a secret ballot.

Once elected, ordinary members can serve a maximum of three terms of four years each. Ordinary members must gain 65 votes to be elected, while honorary members must gain 75.
