We consider it essential that students and their families make at least one visit to experience Aiglon. In choosing the right school – particularly in a boarding situation – it is important that you experience something of the environment that will become your child’s home. We offer two types of visits, each with scope to be tailored in order to get the most out of your time with us:

1) Initial enquiry visit: A short visit structured as a brief introduction to Aiglon. Meet with our admissions team for a discussion about your potential application and take a tour of the campus.

2) Admissions visit: A required aspect of your application journey, these visits are efficient yet thorough. In addition to a campus tour and meeting our admissions team, we organise your admission assessments. We can also organise any number of experiences to help your child imagine themselves here. Scheduled following submission of a full application only.

For detailed information review our Admissions Visits page.

Once you have all of the information you need, it's time to ensure that you fully complete our application package. Create a profile on our Admissions Portal and submit the required details.

1. School reports for the last two years
2. CHF 3,000 registration fee (non-refundable)
3. Character recommendation provided by teacher
4. Colour scan of student's passport.

Upon receipt of the completed application pack, our team will work with you to prepare for the next step in your Aiglon journey, the interview and testing.

Our assessments are designed to be part of an ongoing conversation - ensuring that the student is well suited for the challenges Aiglon has to offer, and that Aiglon is the best environment to nurture their talents in return. Our assessments take two forms:

Assessment Interview
The interview-based assessment is a discussion between the family and school. This is an opportunity for both student and family to begin to make a deeper connection with Aiglon and engage in an interesting and stimulating discussion. We are always curious to learn about where a potential student's enthusiasms lay, how their talents may fit into any plans they have, and – ultimately – how we can help to nurture their existing gifts and introduce them to new challenges.

Abilities Assessment
We are not only looking for students who achieve high scores. Rather, these exams help us to understand where a student’s strengths lie and also identify areas where they may need additional guidance – perhaps even areas we can suggest they would benefit from preparation prior to joining Aiglon. These tests are an honest reflection of suitability, academic ability, and areas for potential growth. These assessments are undertaken in the following areas:

• English Proficiency
  • 45 minutes - 1 hour
  • Required for all students whose first language is not English.
• General Ability
  • 45 minutes
  • Required for all applicants. Includes Maths, English and IQ questions.
• Maths
  • 1 hour
  • Required for all students applying to the IB Diploma Programme.

It is our hope that by this point in the applications process, above all else, that your family has begun to form a positive and lasting relationship with Aiglon, our faculty, and perhaps some of the students.

The final decision-making process is centred around the discussions that have been developing between our family and your own, and understanding how suitable we are for one another. Our Admissions Committee will complete the review process.

Applications can be submitted one year in advance of the intended enrolment date. Due to the limited number of places available to new students each year, Aiglon makes admissions offers two times per year. The first round of decisions are made during the first week of December and the second round during the first week of March each year. Any additional places still available after the second round of offers will be allocated on a rolling basis.

Once you have received a positive admissions decisions, you will then receive all the relevant enrollment information in order to continue your journey with Aiglon.
