Exams: I/GCSE and A-level
Support Services:
Our Admissions process will give us a thorough understanding of the English language ability of our pupils. Once at Rugby School Japan, a tailored programme will be available to those pupils who need on-going support to enable them fully to access the Rugby curriculum. This would typically include group timetabled lessons focusing on developing the academic language in specialist subjects. All our pupils will be taught English from Year 7 through to Year 11, preparing them to achieve an English IGCSE qualification as either first or second language learners. Working with our local education partners, we will also be able to prepare university applicants for their IELTS qualification.

As an Apple school, all pupils in Years 7-11 are required to bring iPads for their use in school. Older students, Years 12-13, tend to use MacBook laptops to support their learning. All teachers have Promethean active screens in their classrooms. The specialist curriculum areas of the School are fully resourced with high spec equipment: for example, our DT workshop includes a laser cutter and 3D printing machine; we have iMac suites for teaching Graphic Design and Music Technology; and we have a fully equipped fitness suite that is used in PE and Sports Science lessons.

The uniform has been designed by Tamae Hirokawa, one of Japan’s leading designers. They have been created to reflect the Rugby School (UK) heritage, and are unique to Rugby School Japan
