Aiglon-The Eagle

About

Rich lessons combined with unique outdoor adventures ensure the campers leave confident, capable and ready for whatever’s next. The Eagle is aimed toward teenagers who are hungry to experience more challenging subject matter, to get to grips with ideas that go beyond the fundamental and really delve into fascinating opportunities for discovery.

As A range of courses has been developed which reflect The Eagle students’ readiness for more complex ideas, featuring a structure that places emphasis upon both individual achievement and the development of greater teamwork skills. Each academic option is led by experienced teachers, who regularly audit their curriculum to ensure students receive the most effective and most relevant educational experience available.

Each student on the Eagle programme takes part in an overnight hiking expedition to develop outdoor skills, and enjoy time in the mountains.

Students attending The Eagle are embarking upon important journeys of their own – this is a transitional time in their lives, and this programme will help to provide them with experiences that will empower them confront changes with a sense of confidence and a spirit of discovery.
