A New Chapter in the Rugby School Group

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

Located at 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.

Opened in September 2025

In September 2025, the school welcomed its first cohort of students into both Year 7 (age 11+) and Sixth Form (Year 12). This exciting development reflects the outstanding progress of the school’s construction and project teams, whose dedication has ensured the campus is ready to receive pupils at both entry points.
