Admissions Process

Enquiry

Your enquiry is an opportunity for us to get to know one another.

Upon submission, you will be contacted by a member of our team who will be your main point of contact throughout the process. Together, we can begin a conversation regarding your family's needs and goals, with a view to helping you discover the suitability of the challenges offered by an Aiglon education.

We can provide you with any materials that you may need, make contact with key members of staff to answer specific questions, and if you would like, begin the process to arrange an initial enquiry visit.

Visit

We consider it essential that students and their families make at least one visit to experience Aiglon. In choosing the right school – particularly in boarding – 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 campus tour.

2) Admissions Visit: This is a required aspect of your application journey. In addition to a campus tour and meeting our admissions team, we organise an entrance interview. We can also organise any number of experiences to help your child imagine themselves here. We schedule an admissions visit only after receiving a full application.

Apply

Once you have all of the information you need, it's time to complete your application. Using the profile you created on our Admissions Portal, the application requirements can be submitted via the checklist.

1. School reports for the last two years

2. CHF 3,000 registration fee (non-refundable)

3. Contact details of a teacher
   (to submit a character recommendation)

4. Colour scan of student's passport

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

Assessments

Our assessments are designed to be part of an ongoing conversation - ensuring that candidates are well suited for the challenges Aiglon has to offer, and that our school is the best environment to nurture their talents.

Assessment Interview: This is an opportunity for an applicant to make a deeper connection with Aiglon. We are always curious to learn about where a potential student's enthusiasm 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 as a student here.

Abilities Assessment: We are not only looking for students who achieve high scores. These assessments help us to understand a candidate's strengths and also identify where they may need additional guidance – perhaps even areas we can suggest preparation prior to joining Aiglon. These assessments are an honest reflection of suitability, academic ability and areas for growth.

Decision

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. The final step is for our Admissions Committee to complete the review process.

Aiglon makes admissions offers twice per year. Any additional places still available after the second round of offers will be allocated on a rolling basis. Please carefully check the admissions dates for deadlines.

Upon receiving an admissions offer, we will then provide you with all you need for your next steps to join Aiglon.
