Programme Overview
The PSA High School Programme is a high quality, rugby-orientated educational placement initiative from the PSA Academies team, in partnership with NSX Xplore. As the leading independent provider of high-performance rugby camps in the UK, Ireland and France, we are uniquely positioned to offer ambitious young players and their families unrivalled opportunities to play and study at some of the world’s best rugby and academic schools globally.
Our placements are designed to give our players the best possible rugby and academic development experiences, adding significant additional value to ‘study abroad’ placements that have traditionally focussed on a more limited academic scope. Our professional and highly experienced team offer a fully bespoke and tailored service that effectively matches interested players from across the globe with placements that offer the maximum academic, rugby and personal development benefits. We create placement offers based specifically on your preferences in terms of format (boarding or homestay), duration and location, working to ensure that you have full visibility on and control over the package elements and associated costs.
All placements travelling Ireland owill also have the option to attend a PSA Rugby Academy there in advance of their educational placement, giving the player concerned an excellent immersion experience over the course of a 3, 5, 7 or 14-night residential high-performance rugby development camp during the Summer.
Every placement offer will include a full overview of the relevant background information involved in the package including safeguarding, conditions of the contract and associated insurance/bond cover.
We offer a free, zero-obligation consultation to all interested players aged 12 to 18 years old and their families – to sign up, please complete the short expression of interest form above and our team will follow up with more information.
