Holistic Education
Curriculum and Academic Achievement
Rugby School Thailand was founded with a vision to improve education in Thailand and transform learning methods. We believe each day at School is an opportunity for intellectual, mental, emotional, physical, and cultural growth. Our holistic approach combines academics with activities, making us pioneers in Asia. Inspired by Rugby School UK, we focus on developing well-rounded individuals who excel academically and personally. Education extends beyond academic qualifications. While exam results are crucial and graduates often move on to some of the world’s best universities, we believe success also comes from being well-rounded. We aim to nurture young adults who thrive in the global community. Recognising each child as an individual, we tailor their educational journey to build self-esteem and confidence for future success. From a dream to reality, our dedicated teachers bring global expertise and care deeply about student welfare. At Rugby School, your child will learn and play in fresh air, enjoying lakes, bike tracks, sports, and outdoor activities. They will be happy and thrive in our care. The right education is the greatest gift you can give your child, and Rugby School Thailand makes this possible for parents across Asia.
The school facilities are fantastic!
