Aiglon Summer School
A Summer of Adventure
The world is open to discovery. When students join the Aiglon Summer School, they are entering not just as learners but explorers. Our rich lessons combined with unique outdoor adventures ensure they leave confident, capable and ready for whatever's next.
Two Programmes One Summer
Our students and parents would agree that the Aiglon Summer School experience is a unique first step on a fascinating journey. Whether intended as a taster in consideration of applying to our full academic year, or just to obtain a new perspective in this beautiful part of the world, students aged 8-16 will find their experiences are ideal preparation for the challenges ahead, with enormous fun to be had too.

Students benefit from the same care and camaraderie that is evident in our house boarding system; nurtured by house parents who genuinely care for their students - no matter how short the stay, and bonding with fellow students while partaking in inter-house competitive activities. Students leave Aiglon with a sense of pride in being accepted as a member of their house.
Diversity forms part of our guiding principles and we understand how vital it is to share experiences with those whose cultures differ from our own. We are proud that our programme annually hosts attendees from more than 30 countries. Students leave the mountain not only more confident and capable, but also richer by their varied national and cultural exposure.

Expedition Time
Central to Aiglon's 70+ year existence has been the exploration of the outdoors. We live in a beautiful alpine environment, and we make the most of it! Step off of campus to easily access the mountain train, gondola, or any number of other activities that are awaiting in our mountain environment. Every student has the opportunity to go on expedition and form the memories that are central to our ethos.
