Sixth from open evening by Rugby school

The aim of Rugby School Thailand Sixth Form is not just to get our students into the best universities in the world, but for them to excel once they are there. The Sixth Form curriculum is consequently broad and designed to encourage independence of thought and leadership. We focus on producing rounded individuals with a range of interests and the ability to learn for themselves. We want our students to lead fulfilled and happy lives.

There are many different components to our Sixth Form experience, and these are brought together by tutors, who provide two mentoring sessions each week. One section focuses solely on academic issues, the other on service and softer skill development.   

Academic

While we take a holistic approach to education, academic concerns remain at the heart of our Sixth Form.  Rugby School Thailand is an A-Level school with students choosing between 3 and 5 A-Levels in their first year.

Most students revert to 3 A-Levels in their second year with some keeping 4. A-Levels are a globally recognized qualification that provides an exceptional depth of study and excellent preparation for university.

The A-Level system allows students to drop the subjects they no longer wish to pursue; qualifications are shaped around the ambitions of the students. We also provide a full IELTS and SAT program. English as additional language support is available as needed. Class sizes are small, and the staff is exceptional.

Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

Many of our students will complete the extended project qualification (EPQ) worth half an A-Level. This is an independent piece of work chosen by the student. It allows students to further their own interests and could be presented as a written piece of work, performance, video or anything else the student chooses. The assessment is coursework based and includes a presentation. This allows students to work in a way that will help prepare them for university.

A-Level choices

Mathematics, Further Mathematics, English Literature, Politics, Economics, Business, Spanish, Mandarin, French, Music, Psychology, Art, Drama, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Design and Technology, Computer Science, Geography, History and Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Please refer to the curriculum brochure for more detail.

SERVICE

Each Sixth Form student must complete at least 1 hour of service each week during term time, although most do much more. To achieve this, we have developed an innovative Community Action Program (CAP). Sixth Form students can be responsible for leadership programs lower down the school. We have partnered with Wat Koh school in Rayong to help them develop as a ‘Bamboo’ school (schools based on community development), and we are proud to be the first international school to form such a close partnership.
