In fulfillment of its commitment to begin academic operations in Nigeria, Rugby School Nigeria—located in the heart of Lagos at Eko Atlantic City—will officially open its doors in September 2025.

According to a statement from the school’s management, Year 7 (age 11+) classes will commence alongside the previously announced Sixth Form (Year 12) A-Level programme, both launching at the institution’s purpose-built campus.

Commending the world-class project management and construction teams for keeping to schedule, the school noted that facilities will be fully ready to welcome students at both entry points in time for the new academic year.

The statement said the Year 7 curriculum promises a broad, balanced, and forward-thinking education, grounded in the values of the Rugby Learner Profile.

“Pupils will study a wide range of academic and creative subjects – including English, mathematics, sciences, humanities, arts, languages, and personal development – with a strong focus on curiosity, confidence, and character.

“Facilities at the school include well-equipped classrooms, a library, sports complexes, a swimming pool, and a performance auditorium,” it added.

Dr Adam England, Principal of Rugby School Nigeria, restated commitment to the September date for the commencement of academic activities.

“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.”

Looking ahead, Dr. England added: “And we’re only just beginning. In September 2026, we’ll be opening boarding and expanding to the full range of year groups, creating an extraordinary environment for learning and life.”
