Head of Chemistry - Senior School

Rugby School Thailand (RST), a co-educational day and boarding international School set in 80 acres of glorious Thai countryside south of Bangkok, opened in September 2017 with 110 students. The School has now grown to over 1,100 students and attracts students from all over Thailand and South East Asia.

The structure, School day and ethos of RST are based upon the British Independent School model, rather than the standard international school model. As such, the School has three sections: Pre-Prep (2-6 year olds), Prep (7 – 12 year olds) and Senior (13 – 18 year olds).

Rugby School Thailand is the first overseas sister school of Rugby School UK, one of the most prestigious and well-known schools in the UK. Rugby School Thailand shares Rugby School UK’s DNA in every important respect. It is unique.

The health, safety and well-being of young people are of paramount importance to all the adults who work at Rugby School Thailand. Children have the right to protection, regardless of age, gender, race, culture, sexual orientation, or disability. They have a right to be safe in our School.
