At Rugby School Thailand we follow a traditional Prep School model that takes students from Year 3-8 and places an emphasis on specialist teachers from an earlier age than the standard primary system. This early specialist teaching is a unique feature that sets us apart from most other international schools in Thailand.
From the moment they join our Pre-Prep, your child will be inspired by dedicated music, swimming and sports coaches, alongside enthusiastic specialist language and activity teachers. This early exposure to specialist instruction provides a fantastic foundation, allowing children to develop key skills under expert guidance.
As students transition into our Prep School, this flavour of specialism deepens. While their form teacher remains the main point of contact for lessons, from Year 3, specialist teachers take subjects like Art, Design & Technology, Computing, Sport and Science. This approach ensures that even in these formative years, your child benefits from the passion and in-depth knowledge of educators who are truly experts in their fields, with years of experience in this area and often holding degrees or Master’s in their subject area.
This isn’t just about academic rigour. The energy and enthusiasm a subject specialist brings to the classroom can truly enliven a subject, making learning more engaging and impactful. Additionally, the experience of moving between classrooms for specialist lessons supports independence, adaptability and social skills – valuable developmental benefits that extend far beyond the curriculum.
By Year 5, our commitment to specialist teaching evolves further with dedicated teachers for English, Maths and Humanities, alongside setting by ability in English and Maths. This carefully structured approach ensures a smooth transition to more focused learning, building upon the strong foundations laid in earlier years, and tailors the experience to your child’s individual needs.
In Term 3, parents and students are invited to take part in ‘Transition’ days and events, which prepare them for the next step in their educational journey. Choosing Rugby School Thailand means choosing an education that prioritises expert guidance, nurturing your child’s potential from an early age to set them on a path to future success.
