Rugby School Hanoi

‘We are delighted to be opening a school in Hanoi, a city of impressive energy and cultural depth. Our joint ambition is to cultivate young people of character, integrity and compassion, preparing them not only for academic distinction but for lives of meaning, responsibility and service in Vietnam and the wider world.

In September 2026 we will open our Pre‑Prep school. This reflects our belief that the Early Years to Year 2 stage forms the strongest foundation for learning and personal development. It is the first step in a planned, steady expansion.

By September 2027, we will open our Prep and Senior school, providing a continuous educational pathway through to graduation.’

For over 450 years, Rugby School has developed a quantum model – a style of education and educational ethos focused on the academic, spiritual, and artistic growth of pupils who cultivate courage and are not afraid of failure.

The formation of character runs in parallel with the growth of a student’s personal network, and their propensity for collaboration during their school days and beyond.

Rugby continues this tradition of holistic education, emphasising not only academic rigour and creative pedagogy, but also co-curricular enrichment – offering a learning experience that extends beyond the classroom into all facets of life.

The mental and physical wellbeing of pupils is paramount. At Rugby, collaborative teamwork and shared vision are as important as individual achievement.

We aim to develop grounded and authentic people who, as part of an integrated community of Rugbeians, will contribute towards a better future locally and globally.
