Aiglon College

What Aiglon College does

Aiglon College is a private, non-profit international boarding school founded in 1949 by John Corlette in Chesières-Villars, Switzerland. It serves approximately 480 students (397 senior and 92 junior) drawn from more than 65 nationalities, with 85% of the student body in boarding. The school operates through Aiglon Collège Services SA, which is owned by the Aiglon College Association (ACA), a non-profit governance structure.

The school's core academic offering is the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme at the senior level and IGCSE at the junior level. Academic outcomes are strong and a key part of the value proposition: the school reports an average IB Diploma score of 36.3/45 in 2025 and a 100% IB pass rate sustained over six consecutive years. Aiglon holds accreditations from the Council of International Schools (CIS), the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and the International Baccalaureate Organization, which together govern the standards of curriculum, boarding care, and faculty. The school maintains a 6,000+ alumni network and has recently invested in facilities including the Belvedere Boarding House (opened 2023), the Moghadam Campus Hub (August 2025), and the AIR Lab focused on AI and robotics (inaugurated August 2025).

The business model is tuition-based and subscription-like in nature, with families paying annual boarding or day fees for multi-year enrolment cycles. Reported revenue is approaching 50 million CHF (approximately $50M+ USD), generated from full-boarding and day tuition across the senior and junior schools. The school employs approximately 240 staff and supplements core academic revenue with a summer camp programme serving over 640 students, providing a feeder channel into full enrolment. Strategic direction is set by the Aiglon Strategy Framework 2026-2031, approved in December 2025.
