In 1949, our school was founded by Mr John Corlette with a vision for a new kind of education. An education which would take students into the natural world – and which would ensure the balanced development of mind, body and spirit. Seventy years later, over a long weekend in June, Aiglonians travelled from all over the world, returning to Villars to celebrate that vision – and our special community – with expedition, meditation and, of course, old and new friends. Welcoming so many of you back to campus was truly wonderful. And with representatives from almost every single class since 1949 in attendance, it was also a truly unique event. To mark the occasion – and to enable everyone who couldn’t make it this time to share in the moment – we created Seventy Things, the book you hold in your hands; a celebration of our community, our values and a long weekend in June. On behalf of the Aiglon community, thank you for celebrating this special event with us.
