This is the user page for Rocdorsay. I am editing my first article here. The article is about John C. Corlette and it starts now:

John C. Corlette founded Aiglon College, a school for boys, in 1949 in Chesieres (no wiki link available), Vaud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaud), in the French-speaking part of Switzerland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland). The curriculum was based on the British GCE system (wiki link) and the philosophy was an educational focus on developing “the whole man.”  This goal was expanded in 19xx when the first female students were included in the school.

John Corlette was an instructor at Gordonstoun (wiki link), another Round Square school (wiki link). Round Square schools follow an educational philosophy espoused by the educator Kurt Hahn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Hahn)

The Influence of Kurt Hahn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Hahn) How did Corltte meet Kurt Hahn? When?

According to at least once source ... Corlette’s move to the Swiss Alps was precipitated by failing health. The sunny slopes of the Villars region were of particular interest (REFERENCE Joyce Lowe). When his health improved, Corlette tured to the matter of creating a school in the same area that had helped him get rid of the disease.
