Welcome to LA BAITA
La Baita provides a homey environment where individual boys are enabled to grow into responsible and confident young men. The hub of the junior school, we have classrooms and the dining room on the lower floors, creating a unified environment for work and play.
La Baita’s boys are kept busy not only with their studies, but also with house camping, ski and cultural trips. Recent destinations include Alsace, Neuchâtel and Gruyère, with visits not only to museums and castles, but also to the chocolate factory in Broc.
We enjoy a lively social life, including regular Wednesday evening events. These range from reading competitions, quizzes and charity bingo nights, to talent shows, sports or a technology challenge. La Baita boys are always busy, and always part of a warm and united family.

From the Students
Living a simpler life at Aiglon has made our son appreciate what he has. And he has blossomed, becoming more independent, organised and mature.

House History
The activity and play areas, together with the assembly and dining space, provide the hub for our younger students to live, learn and grow. La Baita was built in 1990 and named after the Swiss Romansh word meaning ‘a shepherd’s summer hut in the Alps’, it ended the Aiglon tradition of naming new buildings alphabetically.
