Based in School House, one of our oldest buildings in the heart of the campus, the students will enjoy a busy programme of classroom learning from excellent specialist teachers; high-level sports coaching using our magnificent indoor and outdoor facilities; and the kind of academic and cultural enrichment that comes from cross-curricular teaching, off-site activities and excursions. They will also experience the fun of boarding and the chance to make friends and extend their boundaries in a truly Rugbeian atmosphere of tolerance, respect and intellectual curiosity.
Sample the life of a Rugby School student with a two-week academic adventure designed especially for international learners aged 13–17. This enriching programme combines intensive English language development with a challenging blend of academic subjects, offering a window into the depth, variety and individuality that defines a Rugby education. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your English skills or push beyond your academic comfort zone, this immersive experience invites curious minds to explore new disciplines in an inspiring and historic setting.
Step into history and live the legacy. Our students will reside and learn within the very heart of Rugby School - the original School House building and the iconic quad classrooms where many Rugbean scholars have walked before them.
The Rugby School Short Course is unlike most other summer school programmes in that it doesn’t just offer English Language learning and practice in the academic sessions. Our courses are built on a unique collaboration between our Subject Teachers and EAL (English as an Additional Language) teachers, to offer our students traditional subject classes “in” English alongside those classes for the learning “of” English.

With the Golden Start key you can opt for applying directly with the school, however, the school may refer you back to us for helping you with the formalities.
We want our students to leave Rugby School Short Courses with a real sense of achievement, connection and pride. With this in mind, life on our programme is as dynamic outside the classroom as it is within it, providing exposure to other opportunities to learn and grow beyond academics.
Students will share daily meals and participate in evening activities designed to foster friendships, cultural exchange and confidence. A series of School Assemblies, formal dinners and guest speakers provides a sense of tradition and occasion, and students will be required to wear an element of RSSC uniform (provided) at these times.
Sport is central to the co-curricular experience. Every student will have the opportunity to take part in physical activities led by fully-qualified coaches - offering a window into the energy, discipline and teamwork that define Rugby’s sporting legacy.
Home from home with full board accommodation. School House is situated in the oldest part of the School and was the original House when Rugby School moved to its present site.
