1. Express interest and begin the admissions process by registering to schedule a tour of Rugby School Nigeria and to secure a date for entrance assessments. The Admissions Office can be contacted at +234 (0) 9 130 333 000, and families should register to arrange a school tour and set assessment dates for their child(ren). 2. Entrance assessments consist of two components and an interview with the principal: a CATs test (cognitive ability test) that assesses reasoning in four areas and helps predict potential KS3/KS4 grades, and a PASS test (wellbeing attitudinal survey) that helps personalize provision. Assessments can be conducted virtually or physically, and an interview with the principal is part of the process. 3. Intake and class availability: the main intake is in September, with January and April entry possible if there is space in the relevant year group. From September 2026, all classes will be available to Day and Boarding Students.
Rugby School Nigeria is the newest international branch of the Rugby School Group, located in Eko Atlantic City, Lagos. Affiliated with Rugby School UK, it operates on the British curriculum for pupils aged 11–18 and follows Rugby's Whole Person, Whole Point philosophy. The campus opened in September 2025 with Sixth Form (Year 12) and offers boarding from 2026, with the Senior School for ages 11–16 launching in September 2026. Founding Principal Dr Adam England leads the school, which has sister schools in Thailand and Japan. The 56‑classroom campus houses science laboratories, an adaptive learning department, a library designed to promote higher‑order thinking, and on‑site sports facilities with boarding houses planned. Core subjects include Mathematics, English, and the Sciences, with History and Geography and French as the modern language studied throughout, continuing at IGCSE and A Levels. Enrichment activities, partnerships with universities, STEAM Week, sport, debate, and the Rugby 360 community service programme broaden the learning beyond the timetable.
