Welcome to Rugby School Nigeria

Rugby School Nigeria will be the Rugby School Group’s third international sister school. 

Located within the heart of the world-class development of Eko Atlantic in Lagos, Rugby School Nigeria will be a day and boarding school for students aged 11 to 18. 

The school will start in September 2025, initially meeting demand for a dynamic Sixth Form programme for day girls and boys from age of 16.  The senior school for day and boarding students from the age of 11 will open in September 2026.

The school aims to synthesise the renowned British education system with rich, diverse, Nigerian and African culture, creating a welcoming and transformative learning environment for students. 

The Whole Person, The Whole Point

Rugby School Nigeria will proudly share its core ethos, values and traditions with Rugby School in the UK. As a British international school in Nigeria, we will embody a philosophy that celebrates each child’s individuality.

Recognising every student as unique allows us to focus on their strengths, guiding them to achieve and flourish in areas where they excel. Our ethos, “The Whole Person, The Whole Point,” reflects our commitment to nurturing the development of young people. While academic excellence is at the heart of a Rugby School education, sport, art and creative activities will build confidence, resilience and key skills for life beyond school.
