The Classic
Aiglon’s Classic programme offers younger students a dynamic blend of academics, sports, and creativity. Courses like English, French, and science foster hands-on learning, while outdoor activities promote teamwork and personal growth. This holistic experience encourages students to explore new interests in a supportive environment.
Students select their morning courses, and then participate in a range of afternoon and evening activities and an expedition.
Interactive English
At Aiglon, the primary language is English, and as a result students receive a high degree of exposure to the language during their day-to-day interactions. We know from decades of experience that combining recreational activities with interactive learning methods results in students receiving an effective and enjoyable linguistic education.
Through interactive games and collaborative classroom activities, students will develop their skills on the path to becoming confident and competent English language communicators. Our passionate educators have crafted a curriculum which embraces project-led methods for engaging students with the tools they need to take their language learning to the next level.
Our Interactive English course - available for students of beginner, intermediate, and advanced abilities - provides the opportunity to gain a greater practical and theoretical insight into this valuable language.
Our campus is housed in the Swiss Alpine environment, and as such the mother tongue of our host country is French. This course places great emphasis upon incorporating an interactive approach to learning a language. Students will develop their French skills with project based learning with our passionate teachers.
As part of the Summer School activities schedule, we hold a French social evening, during which all students learning French come together for an additional opportunity to practice their improved skill set with fellow summer Aiglonians and Francophone staff.
We fully embrace the concept that enjoyable educational exercises, supported by interactive activities and new experiences are an excellent method for students to absorb their new language. Courses are for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, with a placement test at the start of the programme.
