From the Students
No matter who you are or where you're from, there's always someone who'll come back and talk and be your friend. And, often, those friendships are made forever.

House History
It was thanks to Clairmont in 1955 that Aiglon was able to find and purchase a permanent home — the Hotel Beau Site. Renamed Clairmont, it has, at different times, provided boys' boarding, school dining, classrooms and science labs, the staffroom and the library. It welcomed the first girls to Aiglon in 1968 and has remained a senior girls’ boarding house ever since.
You are still greeted with a sense of old and new as you enter Clairmont. An original Art Deco tiled floor ushers you into an expansive common area, basked in sunshine and providing uninterrupted views of our mountain landscape.
