A heritage of generosity

Supporting Aiglon

In 1955, Aiglon’s first permanent home – now Clairmont – was purchased with gifts raised from parents and friends of our founder John Corlette. Our rich history has been marked by the philanthropic support of our community.

 

As a not-for-profit boarding school, we are set apart in our commitment to use the funds we raise solely to further our transformative educational programmes. Being not-for-profit means that the whole school benefits from the generosity of others, and that every decision made by the volunteer and Alumni-led Aiglon College Association and Board is in the best interests of the school and its students.

Our five-year strategy is driven by a clear ambition to protect our unique heritage, perfect our educational excellence, and project our influence as a global leader. Within these pillars, philanthropy serves as a catalyst, allowing Aiglon to accelerate our most transformative goals and achieve greater impact together, faster than ever before.

Philanthropy allows Aiglon to do more, faster.

The Gift of an Aiglon Education

 

Why I Give

The Aiglon Impact

Every Aiglonian carries a story of how Aiglon shaped their story and helped carve their path in the world. More than just a school, Aiglon is a lifelong community, one that extends far beyond Villars, spreading its values and spirit across the globe.

I like donating to Aiglon because, with students from around the world, they have the benefit of a global perspective. And, with scholars, the students can acquire egalitarian values.

Todd was appointed Head Boy by John Corlette in 1967, and wanted to connect with students and alumni through his support. “I benefited so much from my years at Aiglon, I wanted to show that I believe the school has taken John Corlette and Kurt Hahn’s orientations to a new level.”

As part of Aiglon’s plan to replace old pianos with Steinways, Tony donated one in the name of his son Narain (Alpina, 1997) to encourage the next generation to continue the tradition of philanthropy.

Hamid and his wife Tina are behind the largest gift in Aiglon’s history. “I thought if I took the first step to help, then perhaps others would do the same over time.”
