The Program: Rugby & Education





















•A unique complement to their curricula

  • It’s in playing rugby that we learn how to overcome Adversity

  • Teamwork becomes a creed. We learn that the more we give the more we receive and the importance of working without recognition for the good of the team. Remembering always to put values and principles above personalities.

  • We Respect our opponent, because we can be sure that without them we cannot play. Best friends have often met on a Rugby field and frequently playing for opposite sides.

  • We redefine the verb Win as: to give 100%. The results will either come.

  • Being a “good man or woman” is more important than being “the MVP”. For that reason our MVP will be the young man or woman that did the best for the team, not necessarily the best player.

  • We, the rugby players, assume defeat with dignity and enjoy triumph with simplicity .

  • A Rugbier has to take care of the Jersey that they wear; not the jersey itself which, in truth, belongs to you, but the colors and the shield that give it meaning, that is common patrimony forged with many years of effort and discipline.

  • Our behaviour honours Rugby values and traditions on and off the field

  • Rugby is a school of life, where he/she will learn, enjoy a fantastic experience and have FUN and while making lifelong FRIENDS





Therefore Rugby represents the perfect balance for today’s teenager and tomorrow’s man or woman.
