At Rugby school Thailand, Sailing is one activity in many co-curricular activities we offer.

Sailing provides the students with the opportunity to get away from the daily classroom routine and experience adventure. No two days are the same on a boat and the children quickly learn to deal with challenges that they face. Sailing also gets them to use the skills that they learn every day at school in a new and unique environment, perhaps without them even realising.

Through sailing, the children learn to apply the academic knowledge they gain in the classroom in a unique setting with real life challenges. For example, our pupils can use geography to identify wind directions and look for patterns on the water; they are able to use mathematical angles to project an appropriate route through a sailing course. The sense of discipline that our pupils learn from sailing also enables them to succeed in a classroom environment, so you might say they were symbiotic.

 

Ben Collings, a class music teacher for the Pre-Prep and Prep schools, also teach one-to-one singing lessons to students in the Prep and Senior schools, as well as directing choirs, smaller instrumental ensembles, teaching music technology and coaching sailing.

He started sailing when he was about 10 years old, so roughly the age that children start learning to sail here at Rugby School Thailand. His family were inspired to join a sailing club back in the UK following a flotilla sailing holiday around the Ionian islands one summer. Within a year, He and his Dad were competing together at the Miracle Class national sailing championships.

Rugby School Thailand is truly International school, with a 45:55 at split of Thai to Expat pupils and it recruits top teachers from around the globe to offer the best education

The location allows children exposure to nature and time outside playing sports and co-curricular activities, all of which are integral to the holistic development of ‘mind, body, spirit’.

Rugby School’s ethos is ‘the whole person, the whole point’. This serves a much fuller education than most international schools in Thailand, with a combination of academic excellence with co-curricular activities and sport.

The school has world-class facilities, such as: a large sports hall, extensive playing fields, boating lakes, swimming pools (and a dedicated aquatics centre in development), playgrounds, soft play, large auditorium, cookery suite, design technology lab, science labs, art block.

“We create an educational environment dedicated to nurturing the whole child”
