Whether the individual student decides to continue onto higher-education, trade-school or enter directly in the workforce, they leave The Rugby School with a sense of pride and confidence to pursue goals. Our dedicated staff is an integral part of our program. They hold advanced degrees and certifications in various fields such as: Special Education, Fine Arts, Holistic Health, Nursing, Psychology, Social-Work, and Public & School Administration. This eclectic community of individuals comes together each day at 8:30 a.m. with one common purpose in mind, to work with these students. Five days a week, learning is happening in classrooms, hallways and offices. In addition to academics, The Rugby School provides: Individual, Speech and Occupational Therapy, and Health Services & Wellness Center.
