Rugby School Nigeria to Launch Year 7 in September 2025
Rugby School Nigeria is proud to announce the opening of Year 7 (age 11+) classes in September 2025, marking another exciting chapter in the school’s growth. This milestone will launch alongside the previously announced Sixth Form (Year 12) A Level programme. Both housed within the school’s purpose-built campus in Eko Atlantic City, in the heart of Lagos.
World-Class Facilities Ready for Launch
This expansion has been made possible by the exceptional efforts of the school’s world-class project management and construction teams. Their dedication has ensured that all facilities will be ready to welcome pupils for the new academic year.
Students in both Year 7 and Year 12 will enjoy access to state-of-the-art amenities. These include modern classrooms, a well-stocked library, advanced sports facilities, a swimming pool, and a performance auditorium.

The curriculum is carefully crafted to promote curiosity, confidence, and character – preparing young learners not just for exams, but for life.
A Vision for Holistic Education
Dr. Adam England, Principal of Rugby School Nigeria, shared his excitement:
“We are thrilled to be welcoming our first Year 7 pupils this September, alongside our pioneering Sixth Form cohort. This is a major step toward realising our vision for Rugby School Nigeria — a school shaped by Rugby’s ‘Whole Person, Whole Point’ philosophy. Where young people are challenged, supported, and inspired to grow in every sense.”
Bringing British Excellence to West Africa
