The boarding houses at Rugby School Thailand provide a nurturing ‘home away from home’, where children immerse themselves in a different side of school life while making some of the most enriching relationships. Exemplifying the centuries of boarding school tradition of Rugby School UK, we aim to offer a unique boarding experience as one of the leading British boarding schools in Thailand.
Our boarding school welcomes children from Year 3 to the XX Form. Our boarders in both age groups enjoy spacious, first-class accommodation that suit their needs. We adopt a family-friendly approach and offer three different options:
Part Boarders
Part boarding allows children to board up to two fixed nights a week during term-time (except half-term). The nights must be booked with the house staff and they will be fixed for the whole term.
Weekly Boarders
Our weekly boarders stay at school all week during term-time (except half-term), and head home on Friday afternoon for the weekends. We provide fixed transport to and from Bangkok on Friday and Sunday afternoon each week.
Full Boarders
Our full Boarders stay at school all week during term-time and enjoy the full weekend programme. All boarders go home or to guardians/relatives/friends for half-term holidays and for fixed ‘Exeat’ weekends (usually two per term). Our children can request additional time away from school through our house staff.
When a young person boards at Rugby School Thailand, they join a family. The family consists of Houseparents, Assistant Houseparents and the House Matron, but so much more than that… house mates. For too long our culture has perhaps been conditioning young people to become more isolated, to worry about themselves and to look inward at a social media profile or an online fix. Boarding is the perfect modern day antidote to that. Boarding offers plentiful opportunity not for isolation, but for togetherness, respect, tolerance and learning. Teaching young people the importance of togetherness in the modern world is possibly their most valuable lesson.
Together our boarders and experienced house staff create a community, one that is loving and inclusive, a home away from home for every individual. Care, compassion and trust are among the core values we share. We encourage every member of our community to be patient and responsible, to know their own mind and always try to be a little kinder than necessary.
Our team ethos and our focus on providing growth and leadership opportunities within the boarding family are our common values and the foundation to the enriching relationships boarding provides. All this coupled with our prized COBIS ‘Beacon Status’ award for excellence in boarding offers RST boarders something really special. This is the pinnacle of what we do best, the most obvious example of how we educate the whole person to be truly fulfilled.
Boarding at RST is a unique opportunity and a unique experience in which our unique learners become independent, mature and respectful young adults.
