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.

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.

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.
