Rugby School Thailand Open Morning 

On Friday 1^st November Rugby School Thailand will open its gates to prospective parents and pupils for an Open Morning where you can see the school in action.

About Rugby School Thailand

Away from the city smog on an 80-acre greenfield campus in Chonburi, Rugby School Thailand is a unique British international school where day and boarding children aged 2-18 lead happy, active lives. As the flagship division of leading independent school, Rugby UK, the school prides itself on academic excellence – but the education stretches far beyond classroom walls.

How is RST different from other international schools in Thailand?

The days are longer, the classes smaller and the education more holistic. Rugby School Thailand believes ‘the whole person (is) the whole point’, which is why there is time built into every school day where children do sport outside and exercise their minds with co-curricular clubs. The range of activities is endless, with anything from cartoon drawing, slam poetry, coding and eco club, to sailing, bushcraft, rock-climbing and archery (to name just a few); many of which other schools simply can’t offer on their campus. The facilities are first-class and brand new, and everything has been designed with the children in mind.

A ‘smart’ choice

It has been well-documented that nature itself has a hugely positive effect on concentration, mood and wellbeing – but the school also makes valuable use of its beautiful countryside location in other ways too. Rugby School Thailand was visited by the previous Minister of Education in February 2019 and named a ‘smart campus’. The extensive grounds have integrated solar panels to create renewable energy sources, and with forward-thinking sustainability initiatives in place, green-thinking is second nature for RST pupils.
