Overview

Rugby School Japan (RSJ) is located in Kashiwanoha, a designated education, Innovation and entrepreneurial hub within the greater Tokyo district, Japan.

Opened in September 2023, Rugby School Japan is the second international school founded by the prestigious Rugby School group. The school is a co-educational, day and boarding school for pupils ages 11-18 years. It offers an authentic British School experience whilst embracing the advantages of being based in Japan.

The Rugby Learner Profile is a set of guidelines for our pupils. We encourage them to be Enquiring, Communicative & Collaborative, Globally Minded, Versatile, Reflective and Resilient. A Rugbeian student is encouraged to be kind and inclusive, grounded and authentic, courageous and not afraid of failure, curious and ready to ask ‘What next?’. Our ethos is ‘The Whole Person, The Whole Point’.

The facilities on the 10 acre single campus are exceptional. The purpose-built, fully WiFi and ICT networked school is located close to the University of Chiba and the University of Tokyo (Kashiwanoha Campus). Students can use 12 bespoke science laboratories, extensive music faculty, dance studio, black box theatre, art, design and technology and textile studios, library and traditional classrooms as well as the indoor swimming pool (25m), large air-conditioned Sports Hall, outdoor tennis courts and soccer/rugby pitches. A medical centre with well qualified Nurses is on site to take care of students.

All pupils and teachers in the School are members of a House (a community of about 70 day and boarding students) which plays a vital role in establishing and maintaining a strong school spirit and enabling leadership opportunities. The Houses are named after Houses in Rugby School UK and provide leadership, mentoring and teamwork opportunities. Weekly House sports and other House events including House Music are arranged as part of a busy programme.
