STUDENT AND STAFF EXCHANGE PROGRAMMES
Engaging with fellow students across the Rugby School Group through unique exchange opportunities is a transformative experience, available to every student at least once during their time with us. These exchanges foster close connections between our schools, broadening students' horizons and enriching their educational journey.
Creating an interconnected community, we nurture an environment where students achieve the highest academic accomplishments, develop personally, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. These exchanges not only inspire cultural awareness and global understanding but also build lifelong friendships that extend across borders.
This collaborative spirit extends to our educators, who benefit from a dynamic network that supports professional growth. Teachers across the Rugby School Group have the opportunity to participate in staff exchanges and sabbaticals, allowing them to experience different teaching environments, share expertise, and bring fresh perspectives back to their classrooms. Our educators actively share best practices, teaching materials, and Rugby School’s educational pedagogy, fostering innovation and enhancing the collective teaching experience.
By investing in the growth of both students and staff, we create a thriving global community that equips our learners to make a profound and lasting impact on the world.

OUR OPERATING PARTNERS
Rugby School Global: Leading Education for a Global Future
Described by Tatler as "a school at the top of its game," Rugby School combines academic excellence with an emphasis on developing well-rounded individuals. Our students aspire to secure places at the world’s leading universities, supported by an environment where character, interests, and personality are as highly valued as academic achievements.
Renowned for excellence in sport, music, drama, art, co-curricular activities, and service programmes, a Rugby education fosters talent across every discipline. At its heart lies the historic House system, the cornerstone of our exceptional pastoral care. Each student is guided by a dedicated Housemaster or Housemistress and their team of tutors, creating a supportive and challenging environment where lifelong friendships and a strong sense of community flourish. This connection extends beyond school years, with Rugby’s extensive global alumni network providing enduring bonds of friendship and support.
With a legacy spanning over 450 years, Rugby School has educated Prime Ministers, Archbishops, and global changemakers. Our alumni include innovators like William Webb Ellis, the founder of Rugby football; the poet Rupert Brooke; acclaimed author Anthony Horowitz and columnist and screenwriter Dolly Alderton.
Expanding Excellence Worldwide
Rugby School Global, the international arm of Rugby School, is building a global network of schools with partners who share our educational ethos.
Rugby School Thailand: Opened in 2017 on a stunning 80-acre campus near Bangkok, this is Thailand’s largest co-educational boarding school, offering a world-class education to over 1,200 students aged 2-18. Accredited by COBIS, it has earned beacon status for excellence in boarding and co-curricular programmes.
Rugby School Japan: Launched in 2023 in Kashiwa no-ha, Greater Tokyo, this state-of-the-art school provides day, weekly, and full boarding for students aged 11-18. Recognized by Carfax Education as “one to watch,” Rugby Japan is already making its mark as a leading international school and has been awarded beacon status for pastoral care in it’s first COBIS Inspection.
A Global Vision
Rugby School Global is committed to sharing best practices and fostering collaboration across its network of schools. Students benefit from enriching exchange programmes and cultural experiences, developing a global perspective that prepares them for the interconnected world of the future.
Working closely with local partners, Rugby School Global ensures each new school aligns with local needs while maintaining the hallmark excellence of a Rugby education. From feasibility studies and pre-opening planning to post-launch support, we guide every step of the journey. While our partners handle construction and operations, we provide strategic leadership to create thriving schools that reflect Rugby’s enduring values.
Join us in shaping the future of education—rooted in tradition, built for tomorrow.
