Laptop requirements
Senior school students (Years 9 - 13) must bring their own laptop. For junior school students (Years 5 - 8), all students use a Chromebook that is included in the fees.
Laptops can be of any make or model, but must have at least 4GB RAM. An iPad is not sufficient for school purposes. SOFTWARE AT AIGLON Laptops are required to have updated anti-virus software installed for both Mac and PC. The operating system must also be kept updated. All software on your laptop must be legal. Aiglon is a Google school and students are given access to needed tools. RECOMMENDATIONS We strongly recommend an extended warranty with international coverage. In the event of a hardware issue, this allows service in Switzerland. Please also consider accident insurance that provides coverage in case of damage, loss or theft of laptop. TECHNOLOGY USE AGREEMENT Students agree to this policy in the enrolment contract and are expected to follow it at all times. Please review this in the Handbook before arrival. 15
PHONE POLICIES Aiglon's mobile phone policies are detailed in the Handbook. While we value the important role of technology in our lives, we are also conscious that limits are important for young people.
Phone use is prohibited during class, mealtimes, prep and after hours. For students up to Year 11 devices are collected each night before bedtime. Use in the Junior School is restricted to specific times. We always make sure students have the ability to call home at a reasonable hour!
Please note: A Casio CG-50 calculator is also required for students in Year 10 and above. (See the packing list).
