| ORIGIN OF THE NAME Aiglon College is located in the Swiss Alps. www.Aiglon.ch I attended this school for three years (1973-76). Numerous teachers influenced my method of teaching (which has evolved into the Visual and Active Portfolio Method). I created the Aiglon Academy to give parents a low-cost way of getting something special for students. This web site is not directly connected to the school, but I will tell you many reasons why you should think about attending this remarkable school (there's also a lower and middle school). Some students go there for 8 years! Don't let schooling get in the way of your education. (Mark Twain) Don't let this web page interfere wiht your education. (S. McCrea) I find that homeschooled kids often have a broader perspective and more passion for learning than students who went through traditional classrooms. Ten percent of any income derived from tutoring (connected to this web page, such as referrals that turn into clients) is donated to Aiglon College's scholarship fund. If lawyers associated with Aiglon College do not like my use of the name, I'll change it to Ayglon Academy. |
