A warm welcome
We are delighted that you are considering joining us at Rugby School Hanoi.
At Rugby, we pride ourselves on being a warm, purposeful and outward-looking school where pupils are encouraged to be themselves, to challenge themselves, and to support those around them. From the earliest years, a strong sense of belonging is carefully developed, and our values sit at the heart of everything we do:
- Kindness, because kindness fosters inclusion, respect and a community where every young person can thrive.
- Effort, because working with care and purpose develops independence, clarity of thought, and confidence.
- Courage, because trying new things and learning from setbacks creates an environment that is both supportive and stretching.
- Curiosity, because a genuine desire to explore and understand leads to deeper learning and lasting growth.
Our Admissions team is here to guide you at every stage. Whether you are at the beginning of your search or considering an application, we aim to make the process personal, clear, and considered. Every child is different, and so is every family’s journey. Our role is to help you understand whether Rugby School Hanoi is the right place for your child to grow.
We look forward to getting to know you.
Our entry points
Rugby School Hanoi will open initially with Pre-Prep, welcoming pupils from Early Years through to Year 2.
These early years form the foundation of a Rugby education, where children begin to develop confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging within a carefully structured environment.
As the school grows, further year groups will be introduced, allowing pupils to continue their journey through Prep and Senior School.
For families considering entry beyond these initial year groups, we welcome early enquiries and are pleased to provide guidance on future admissions opportunities.
Supporting your application
We recognise that choosing a school represents a significant commitment for families.
Rugby School Hanoi will offer a considered approach to financial support and founding arrangements, ensuring that the school develops a balanced and committed community from the outset. Further details will be shared directly with families during the admissions process.
Ready to take the next step?
We are pleased that you are considering Rugby School Hanoi for your child. The following steps are designed to guide you through the admissions process in a clear and supportive way.
The best way to understand Rugby School Hanoi is to experience it in person.
We encourage families to visit us, whether through an Open Day or a more individual introduction. A visit offers an opportunity to understand the thinking behind the school, to meet members of the team, and to gain a sense of the environment we are creating.
When you feel that Rugby School Hanoi may be the right place for your child, the next step is to register your interest.
Registration allows our Admissions team to guide you more closely, to share relevant information, and to support you through each stage of the process.
Our approach to assessment is designed to understand each child as an individual.
In the Pre-Prep years, this process is informal and age-appropriate. It may include a gentle observation of the child in a familiar setting, alongside a conversation with parents to understand the child’s development, interests, and readiness for school.
Our aim is to ensure that the experience feels welcoming and constructive, allowing each child to be seen at their best.
Following the admissions process, families will be informed of the outcome.
Where a place is offered, this reflects our belief that the child will thrive within the Rugby School Hanoi environment, both academically and personally.
Once a place is accepted, families will be welcomed into the Rugby School Hanoi community.
We will share guidance on preparation for the start of term, and provide opportunities for children and parents to become familiar with the school environment. From the moment a place is confirmed, our team works closely with families to ensure a smooth and confident transition.
Open days
The best way to discover life at Rugby School Hanoi is to experience it for yourself.
We warmly invite you to join us at an Open Day, where you will have the opportunity to meet our team and gain a clearer understanding of the school’s approach and environment.
