Students applying to join Rugby School Short Courses are expected to apply themselves and strive to do their best at all times. Whilst they may have interest and talent in academic subjects, they must also be ready to pursue personal growth and new friendships in all elements of the programme. Independence, enthusiasm, humility and curiosity are essential qualities.
Where travelling alone, students should be of sufficient character and confidence to navigate their journey independently. Parental Consent forms must be signed in advance of arrival. We encourage parents and students to read our policy documents and Terms & Conditions and fully understand the information presented before booking onto the programme.

Students with a tested English Level of B1+, will be invited for a short interview (online) to discuss their interests and assess their suitability for Subject Specific Lessons. They will also be required to write a short personal statement in preparation for the interview, outlining their aims whilst attending the programme.
