Seated in history, set for the future.
Inspiring education at Rugby School.
Welcome
Rugby School has enjoyed hosting summer school for international students for many years. Next year, 2026, we will embark on a new cooperation with the launch of Rugby School Short Courses.
These will provide two-week courses in the summer holidays for students who want an insight into how we deliver our ‘Whole Person Whole Point’ educational ethos.
Based in School House, one of our oldest buildings in the heart of the campus, the students will enjoy a busy programme of classroom learning from excellent specialist teachers; high-level sports coaching using our magnificent indoor and outdoor facilities; and the kind of academic and cultural enrichment that comes from cross-curricular teaching, off-site activities and excursions. They will also experience the fun of boarding and the chance to make friends and extend their boundaries in a truly Rugbeian atmosphere of tolerance, respect and intellectual curiosity.
