Aiglon Summer School

El mundo está abierto al descubrimiento. Cuando los estudiantes se unen a la Escuela de Verano de Aiglon, no solo entran como estudiantes sino también como exploradores. Nuestras ricas lecciones combinadas con aventuras únicas al aire libre garantizan que se vayan seguros, capaces y listos para lo que venga.

Nuestros estudiantes y padres estarán de acuerdo en que la experiencia de la Escuela de Verano de Aiglon es un primer paso único en un viaje fascinante. Ya sea como prueba antes de postularse para nuestro año académico completo, o simplemente para obtener una nueva perspectiva en esta hermosa parte del mundo, los estudiantes de 8 a 17 años encontrarán que sus experiencias son una preparación ideal para los desafíos que se avecinan, con una enorme diversión. ¡También se puede conseguir!

Los estudiantes se benefician del mismo cuidado y camaradería que es evidente en nuestro sistema de internado; nutrido por padres de familia que se preocupan genuinamente por sus estudiantes, sin importar cuán corta sea la estadía, y estableciendo vínculos con sus compañeros de estudios mientras participan en actividades competitivas entre casas. Los estudiantes salen de Aiglon con el orgullo de ser aceptados como miembros de su casa.

SPECIALIZED PROGRAMMES

KICKOFF Ages 10 -16

Our exclusive partnership with Manchester City Football School offers an unparalleled opportunity.

Training sessions follow a specialised curriculum – the City Play Model – providing players with insights into the team's playing philosophy and methodology. Interactive off-field workshops allow players to learn more about football education topics that help support player development and performance.

We recommend students join for one week of the dedicated football programme, Kickoff, followed by a second week and continue as a student in the Classic or Eagle programmes.

Packing Considerations: For Kickoff, please can we add students to bring football boots (ideally not new and already worn and suitable for artificial grass), shin pads, training/running shoes (for indoor activity).

The Summer School provides a Manchester City football kit as part of the course, and students can take this home. This includes 2 x t-shirts, shorts, socks, sports jumper and sports trousers. The students are expected to wear this each day for the football course, then their own casual clothes in the evening if they are residential students.

ADVENTURE Ages 8 - 16

A one-week course focusing on hiking, rock climbing and campcraft in the Swiss Alps, including a two-day hiking and climbing adventure. The course will teach survival skills with plenty of practical mountaineering tips. For students with a good level of fitness and love for the outdoors!

Time out on the mountain, hiking and developing skills such as map reading, and identifying flowers and animals. Learning to understand and grade hikes all lead to planning and embarking on a Swiss mountain expedition.

Packing Considerations: a rucksack, waterproof jacket, fleece or insulated down jacket, hiking trousers (x2), a pair of strong walking boots, walking socks, sleeping bag and mat, torch, sunglasses, water bottle, warm hat.

RIDE Ages 12 - 16

Students will learn both how to get the most from their bike as well as explore and plan journeys through our local area.
