The Academic Block at Shrewsbury International School India
Abhishek Mohan Gupta, President of the Board of Management of Shrewsbury International School India, expressed excitement about embarking on a novel chapter of education in Madhya Pradesh, stating, "We are on the brink of a bold educational venture in Madhya Pradesh. Shrewsbury has long been my vision as an institution that harmoniously marries British academic success with the rich cultural values of India. The arrival of August is highly anticipated."
Shrewsbury makes its Indian debut through a distinguished partnership between Shrewsbury School UK, an esteemed 473-year-old British boarding institution, and Jagran Social Welfare Society, a renowned name in Central India for its commitment to academic excellence. The school follows a customized British National Curriculum for grades 6 to 12, culminating in IGCSE and A-Level qualifications. Dominic Tomalin, the Founding Headmaster at Shrewsbury, noted, "Pupils at Shrewsbury will be immersed in a personalized learning environment with small class sizes and an 8:1 student-teacher ratio. Our educational philosophy is rooted in the development of the whole person, encompassing rigorous academics, world-class sports and performing arts facilities, and a meticulously planned infrastructure to nurture India's potential for a global future."
The school has seen strong interest from families across India and beyond, with over 40 cities covered during its outreach program. According to Mr. Abhishek Mohan Gupta, "In addition to strong domestic interest, we have garnered considerable attention from regions such as the UAE, Nepal, and Bangladesh."
Highlighting the unique aspects of the school's co-curricular and extra-curricular programs, Oliver Russell, the Deputy Head of School and Strategy Development, stated, "Inspired by its parent institution's rich sporting legacy, Shrewsbury International School India offers state-of-the-art facilities for over 20 indoor and outdoor sports, including specialized spaces for Indoor Rowing, Scuba Diving, and Fencing. The school's Performing Arts program is equally vibrant, with students pursuing diplomas in Music and Drama from Trinity College London, marking the only international collaboration for Performing Arts in Central India."
