student lost the tips of two toes to frostbite, another almost died after falling into a crevasse, and a girl was permanently disfigured on the local slalom course after taking a bamboo gate too closely. In 1972 the Indian spiritual leader Chinmayananda Saraswati visited the school and gave talks on the Hindu faith. That year, Corlette stepped down as Executive Headmaster and took on the new title of Director and Founder. Student numbers continued to grow in the coming years and by 1983 there were approximately 250 pupils from 142 nationalities. Aiglon had also cemented itself as a popular choice for celebrities and the international jet set, with Gregory Peck, Sophia Loren, Roger Moore and Dame Joan Sutherland having already enrolled their children. A 1995 Newsweek profile noted that high fees did not "buy luxury" at Aiglon, and student dormitories were surprisingly modest. Such "unpretentious surroundings" were said to be popular with wealthy parents who did not want their children to be living in too much comfort. In 2019 Nicola Sparrow became the first woman to lead the school. Administration and organization Aiglon College Junior School caters for boys and girls in years 5 to 8 (US grades 4–7). The Senior School caters for students in years 9 to 13 (US Grades 8–12). Students are prepared for GCSE and IGCSE examinations at the end of year 11 (Grade 10) and for the International Baccalaureate in the final two years. Throughout the school, the curriculum is taught in English, with the exception of languages and literature. All students are required to take part in expeditions every term. These include hiking, camping, mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing, ski mountaineering, and other outdoor challenges. The school is run by a volunteer Board of Directors who oversee the school’s strategic direction and continued alignment with its founding principles. The school’s senior management team responsible for its day-to-day management is called the School Council and is led by the Head of School.
