Former scholar and Babson College graduate Ruth (Shalom) Kinyua (Exeter, 2015) is now a lead advisor at an IT consultancy. She states:

Aiglon served as a trampoline; a fitting analogy to how the institution catapulted my trajectory and bestowed a lifelong advantage. Many of the breakout opportunities I have had spanning multiple continents are closely intertwined to those three defining years that continuously unlock internal capabilities and external enablers. Most importantly, the ethos of the Aiglon education is a beacon of advancement for the education service, and a rare opportunity for deserving scholars to scale their service to humanity.

I learned two precious lessons during two very fulfilling years of sixth form at Aiglon, namely:
1. Finding my inner strengthbelieving in myself
2. Perseverance - never giving up, no matter the odds
I share Aiglon's philosophy with my boys who are student-athletes - after all, 'character' is everything transcending all material achievements, lessons one cannot simply learn in a classroom.

Philanthropy is crucial for a school run on not-forprofit principles. Opportunities to support the scholarship programme exist for all levels of donors.
The presence of scholars on campus improves the experience of all students, and their impact extends to the wider communities they enter into after graduation. We want to ensure that more students can benefit from the unique Aiglon education.
SOAS graduate Akram Safa (Belvedere, 2017) established the AKAL scholarship fund together with his brother. The first AKAL Scholar will be graduating this May. Akram summarises that:
Scholars at Aiglon embody and epitomise what every Aiglonian should strive for. Their work ethic, mastery of the mind, body and spirit, and positive influence on the wider community are an example to us all. We are better people because of them.
