Shrewsbury UK is now all set to open its doors in India as Shrewsbury International School India in Bhopal commences its first academic session next year. Nestled in a meticulously designed 150-acre campus, Shrewsbury International School India is a co-educational boarding school for students aged 11 to 18. It adheres to the prestigious British National Curriculum leading to Cambridge International examinations and A-Level courses.
To celebrate the arrival of the school in India, a momentous event was organised in Mumbai where Dominic Tomalin, the newly appointed Founding Headmaster of Shrewsbury, addressed an esteemed gathering of luminaries. Also present at the inaugural event were Mr. Harjinder Kang, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for South Asia and the British Deputy High Commissioner for Western India, consul generals of 11 nations, celebrities, leading HNIs and media leaders.
The school singularly aims to channel unprecedented global exposure to central India by bringing a wide array of academic and extra-curricular facilities to its heart that would take its school curricular practises notches up.
“Complementing a rigorous academic curriculum, the campus will boast more than 20 indoor and outdoor sports; including Indoor Rowing, Scuba Diving, and Fencing for the first time in the country. The school has also collaborated with Trinity College London to provide diplomas in disciplines such as music and dramatics. These facilities will not only prepare the students to compete at national and international levels but will also contribute towards their overarching development, which lies at the core of Shrewsbury’s academic philosophy,” says Abhishek Mohan Gupta, Founder and President, Board of Management at Shrewsbury International School India. In his address at the event, Dominic Tomalin emphasised that the school will offer its pupils the best practices of British independent schools and Indian value systems. He remarks, “At Shrewsbury, we intend to integrate India’s spiritual wisdom and intrinsic passion for learning with a holistic education model. We want our students to experience the strengths of both cultures and cultivate individual responsibility, confidence, discipline and a deep love for knowledge.”
The school will also have a healthy mix of experienced teaching faculty from across the world. “With a goal to provide pioneering academic facilities, Shrewsbury will feature hands-on laboratories for innovation in subjects such as Design and Technology, Science, Astronomy, and much more. Moreover, diverse languages will enhance the learning environment with more than six Indian and European languages on offer,” adds Dominic.
