Aiglon College is a private English-style boarding school in Switzerland, registered as a not-for-profit charitable institution, with an international student intake (the proportion of nationalities attending the school may vary from year to year). The school gathers funds from full fee-paying students, from donations and via registered charitable trusts in different countries. Parents wishing to send a child to Aiglon, but who have insufficient funds to do so, may apply for their child to be granted a scholarship at Aiglon, funded through these trusts. Since its foundation in 1949 by John C. Corlette, Aiglon College has grown from relatively humble beginnings to become one of the most expensive (e.g., annual border's fees for an upper sixth form student for the 2009/10 year are CHF77,000) - and hence one of the most exclusive - boarding schools in Switzerland, if not the world. As a charitable trust, the school does not cater to any particular elite group, but offers scholarships and financial support to children who are deemed to be deserving in some way (academically or otherwise), and also regularly enrolls "legacies" - that is, children of alumni.
