I am hereby posting the below letter as written by the ACAEA President Louis P Snyder addressed to the Aiglon Alumni : Letter to Aiglon Alumni:

I am writing to you as the President of the Aiglon College Alumni Eagle Association (ACAEA), along with the 1st Vice President, Rana Sahni. We, as alumni, are all very concerned about the issues which were addressed in Harry Reinhardt’s letter. Please know that I have been in daily communication with the school, and the Board of Governors, so as to get the facts right, and to offer the help of our dedicated alumni community as Aiglon addresses these concerns.

      Having read the letters and comments, I see this as a true view into the state of parenting and neglect or denial of the reality involved. While I was at Aiglon we always knew that the teachers were running around hiding etc. BUT we ...See more

      The aim of the school is to train the mind and develop in its students the qualities of honesty, self-discipline, good health in bosy and mind, thoughtfulness and service to others. That was it that we had to write at the beginning of each ...See more

      How about addressing the issue of the headmaster founding a gap year school down the valley with a fellow governor as a partner whilst, at the same time, academic performance at Aiglon drops? Coincidence? There seems to be a serious conflic...See more

      Don't shoot the messenger! I, for one, am deeply appreciative seeing this level of response and care to our letter. This was initiated to provide our alumni community with an intermediate communication as to a very serious and sensitive sub...See more

This was recently forwarded to me by an alumni, which as we navigate the storm, we perhaps need to go back to our roots .... This is probably one of he last graduations that our Founder John Corlette attended, and pls see below his graduation speech given in 1973 :
