Human Creativity & innovation

Creative Arts Faculty

Aiglon Creative Arts works across the domains of visual art, drama and music to offer students an immersive experience in both appreciating and producing art. We have students who go on to study artistic subjects at top institutions and many others who simply enjoy creative expression for years to come.

Going Beyond

What makes this project uniquely Aiglon is how we blend tradition with cutting-edge innovation. We are equipping our young people with the real-world skills needed to meet the challenges of the modern creative industries. This is why we are giving priority to the development of a world-class suite of rehearsal and learning spaces, including 9 Practice Rooms, a DJ studio, Music Technology Classroom, Practical Music Classroom, and 3 Recording Studios.

Our New Music Space

Aiglon has always embraced music as essential to a holistic education, nurturing mind, body, and spirit. John Corlette's vision laid the foundation.

A year on from inaugurating the Moghadam Campus Hub, we are embarking on our next, landmark capital project. The Aiglon Music Teaching and Practice Facility, our new state-of-the-art facility, which will be unveiled during the academic year 2028-2029, will complete the redevelopment of the upper campus with the world-class talent and boundless ambition of our students.

We have seen the transformative impact of the Moghadam Campus Hub on campus life, and the Music Teaching and Practice Facility marks the next stage of our commitment to building a world class campus.

Aiglon Society of the Arts

Art transcends culture and is a truly global language which nourishes the mind, body and spirit. That is why we are committed to bringing world-class talent onto our campus and elevating our programmes to the next level.

Reserve Tickets

With the opening of the Moghadam Campus Hub in August 2025, Aiglon is well-positioned to expand its showcasing of expert creative art talent both in the school and as part of the local community. The Aiglon Society of the Arts is an initiative developed in conjunction with Aiglon's Creative Arts Faculty committed to bringing unique and talented performers to Chesières. During their time with us performers will also work with students as part of a workshop programme enabling Aiglon students to access a range of unique learning opprotunities.

Each of the season's concerts are open to students, staff, parents, alumni and local community members. Tickets are free, but required, and can be reserved on the website. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our special performances soon.

Programme Overview

Music

Music enjoys a high profile at Aiglon, from the regular singing assemblies that bring everyone together from across the school, to the House Shout, the much loved annual singing contest in which each boarding house takes the stage to perform as one single group. Everyone is encouraged and everyone is welcome.

All-Steinway Institution

Aiglon College has been officially recognised as the first All-Steinway Institution in Switzerland - the only institution using exclusively Steinway & Sons pianos for all aspects of the music programme.

The school joins over 250 All-Steinway Institutions world-wide to be bestowed with this recognition. Our commitment to excellence provides our students with the highest quality pianos and fosters creativity and soft skills which will be increasingly important for the next generations.

Visual Arts

Aiglon's art department aims to equip students with the skills to enjoy, produce and engage with the visual arts throughout their lives. Art has immense value as a subject in encouraging innovative thinking and creativity, both skills that are transferable to all parts of life.

Our curriculum aims to ensure that all students have the opportunity to produce creative work, to explore ideas, techniques and processes, and to immerse themselves in culture and the language of art through gallery visits, artist workshops and exhibitions.

All students in Years 3 to 9 receive formal art lessons once a week by our experienced and enthusiastic teachers. Many then choose to continue this study with us through GCSE art and design and then onto IB visual arts. The IB visual arts is a popular pathway that enables students to access undergraduate courses at university.

For students who join us in Year 11, there is the option to follow the Pre-IB visual art curriculum, an Aiglon-devised hybrid course that enables students to develop and hone the appropriate skills required to access visual arts as part of the IB Diploma Programme.

All students have the opportunity to participate in the co-curricular art activities and the regular competitions we promote.

Drama

Within Aiglon’s vibrant Drama Department we guide students through the world of theatre both within and outside the classroom.

Through the academic curriculum, all students in Years 3 to 9 take one class where they are able to workshop different styles of theatre and acquire a presentational, creative and collaborative theatre skill-set. In Years 10-13 that skill set is further developed and widened if students elect to continue with the subject to IGCSE and IB Diploma Programme.

Co-curricular involvement in Drama can be pursued through auditioning for the annual Junior or Senior School Productions. Equally, a student can elect to follow activities related to set building and painting, technical support for productions, or involvement in costume and make-up related to ongoing productions.
