Global Partnerships
Supporting innovation and excellence in international education.
Our Global Partnership schools are a showcase of the Rugby School commitment and ambition to share education expertise on a global scale. We strive to provide genuine opportunities for young people worldwide by working with select schools dedicated to diversifying their curriculum and expanding global education access. This international focus reflects our mission to create a diverse and global community within our founding school and beyond.
“We understand that every school is unique, and we are committed to meeting schools where they are. We recognise that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to providing genuine support. Each partnership is tailored to the specific needs and goals of the participating schools, ensuring that no two partnerships look alike.”

What is a Rugby School Global Partnership?
Materials for Learning
By delivering resources through Rugby School Online and the Rugby School EAL Academy, we provide students with a wide array of educational materials to enhance their learning. We offer EAL classes, specifically designed to help students access an English-speaking curriculum, as well as streamed GCSE, A-Level, and IB teaching from Rugby School educators.
Additionally, our university application support and counselling services assist students through the application process, helping them work towards their academic and career goals.
Continuing Education for Teachers
We appreciate that staff need support to continually develop their skills and expertise. For educators, we provide opportunities to enhance their teaching skills. This includes pedagogy workshops and specific subject masterclasses on various academic and extracurricular topics, giving teachers new insights and strategies for their classrooms.
In addition we offer all staff the ability to be able to partake in our critical teacher training courses via the Rugby School EAL Academy, designed to help educators teach international curricula to EAL learners.
Residential Opportunities
Building strong relationships between staff and students is essential to the work we do with Global Partnership schools. As such, we facilitate student and staff exchanges, which provide immersive experiences and foster collaboration across cultures. We organise Summer and Winter programmes, as well as direct student residential and revision camps, which are specifically designed to help students prepare for important exams.
Our Global Partnership Schools
Our flagship partnership with the Tsinghua University High in Beijing is centred around A-level teacher training and university application support for students.

Become a Global Partner School
We invite schools interested in expanding their educational horizons to join our Global Partnerships initiative.
As a partner school, you will gain access to our Rugby School resources, expertise, and international network. The process begins with an initial inquiry, followed by a consultation to discuss your school's needs and goals. Once a mutual agreement is formalised, we work closely with you to integrate our services and programmes into your school, ensuring a seamless and impactful partnership.
