Extracurricular Activities

Educational Trips

At Aiglon College, students in grades 7 and 8 enrich their education through immersive, hands-on experiences. These journeys are designed to cultivate character, resilience, and independence.

For two weeks, seventh graders venture to a space camp in the USA, engaging in astronaut training, engineering, flight simulations, and the study of xenobiology, all while honing survival skills. Meanwhile, eighth graders embark on an exploration of Greece, visiting historical sites in Athens and learning the art of sailing aboard a 15-meter yacht. These transformative trips encourage personal growth, self-discovery, and broaden the horizons of what students believe is possible.

Aiglon College Hikes

Hiking is a cornerstone of the Aiglon College experience. Nearly half of the student body participates in weekend excursions that include orienteering, rafting, rock climbing, and cycling.

In the summer months, students can be found kayaking, camping near the picturesque Lake Geneva, or biking through the scenic trails of Bex. Winter brings its own adventures with ski trips, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing expeditions between mountain huts. These activities foster resilience, self-reliance, and camaraderie among students. Their achievements are recognised with badges such as “Marmot,” “Eagle,” “Capricorn,” and the prestigious “Golden Eagle.”

Aiglon College offers a diverse array of activities aimed at developing a broad range of skills and experiences. The programme is designed to allow students to pursue their passions or discover new interests.

CAS at Aiglon College

Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) is an integral part of the International Baccalaureate program at Aiglon College. Senior students engage in advanced activities at least twice a week, focusing on their holistic development.

These projects, grounded in the principles of a comprehensive education, provide rich opportunities for reflection and personal growth.

During weekends, students participate in an array of activities including hikes, sports, and educational trips. These experiences are designed to be enjoyable, relaxing, and challenging, promoting continuous growth and learning.
