A private, international and co-educational boarding school, located in the Swiss Alps, Aiglon College cultivates a culture for compassion and opportunity - with students at the heart of everything. For more than 70 years Aiglon has pushed beyond the boundaries of traditional education to offer a holistic and inspirational experience.

Aiglon was founded on a distinctive ethos: the balanced development of mind, body and spirit. This philosophy underpins everything we do at the school, both inside and outside the classroom. The school today guards this original vision and has grown into one of the world's most distinctive boarding schools.

From junior through to senior school, students benefit from all the advantages of an international boarding school which is established as a not-for-profit school. Our campus community is represented by over 65 nationalities. They form lasting bonds with each other and with excellent educators who guide them towards academic and personal success.

The character of Aiglon students is forged on the mountain. Aiglon is located in the ski resort village of Villars-sur-Ollon in French-speaking Switzerland, at 1,227m. Making use of our safe, alpine environment we enjoy an open-style campus.

Students follow the globally recognised IGCSE and International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes while simultaneously developing practical skills that integrate curriculum into all areas of life. The focused, individually tailored programme allows each student to access a unique course of study.

The school's professional University Advising team works closely with each student to help them understand and succeed in the university application process. Through these efforts, our students have access to the world's top universities.

Central to its educational philosophy, the uniquely crafted expedition programme utilises Aiglon's location to engage students in activities designed to develop their sense of challenge and responsibility in a highly practical environment.

Aiglon's activities programme - from Model United Nations (MUN) to climbing and astronomy - offers a range of learning opportunities for students to develop skills and build experiences.

A robust approach to wellbeing is integrated into our student life, as well as our curriculum. The school's counsellor team supports students' mental health and we understand safeguarding within a community-focused culture. From their roles as Houseparents, Assistant Houseparents or as tutors, teachers are available to students 24/7.

Every Aiglonian leaves us prepared to face the challenges and opportunities of the modern world.
