Seated in history | Set for the future | Rugby School Short Courses

Coming soon...

Rugby School Short Courses launches in 2026.

Our 2-week short course programmes offer bright and ambitious students an authentic taste of life at Rugby School – recognised globally as a leading co-educational boarding school. We invite applications from students of all levels of English, aged 14+.

Our Mission

We recognise the importance of our role in preparing Students for academic success. However, a course with Rugby School Short Courses also aims to nurture the “whole person” encompassing wider cultural, character-building, sporting and life-learning aspects. Our students develop a sense of responsibility and leadership within the community and beyond and we encourage continuous growth and improvement, believing in the potential of all students to develop their abilities, confidence and character.

“Your Rugby School Short Course is about more than just lessons — it’s an adventure into British culture, academic discovery, new friendships and independence. Every day is thoughtfully designed to help you grow, challenge yourself, and enjoy a taster of life in a top UK educational setting.”
