The role
03Aiglon College is an international boarding school based in the Swiss Alps with a worldwide reputation for providing a challenging and transformational holistic education in an inspiring setting within a safe, caring and supportive framework. The School is CIS accredited, and caters for 480 students aged 7 -18 representing 70 nations. In their final years students prepare for Cambridge IGCSEs and the IB Diploma Programme but our distinct learning philosophy begins to become embedded from our youngest students. The junior school is a connected part of the whole school but is also a distinct section separate from the senior school with a dedicated focus on Year 2-8 students. The school wishes to appoint a teaching assistant for the junior school to work primarily with students in Years 7 and 8.
