Designed as a co-education boarding school

Shrewsbury India is designed as a co-education boarding school for ages 11-18 and will have 800 students at its full strength. It will be one of the largest co-educational residential school in central India in a state-of-the-art 150-acre campus. The students will study the English National Curriculum leading to Cambridge International IGCSE examinations undertaken in years 9 and 10 to qualify students for entry into A Level course with final examinations at the end of years 12 and 13.

By merging the best practices of both the UK and Indian education systems, the curriculum promises a diverse and enriching educational journey for all students. The launch of this off-shore campus heralds an unparalleled opportunity for Indian students to experience a highly-acclaimed British education without leaving their homeland. With this initiative, Shrewsbury School aims to nurture global citizens who possess a profound appreciation for cultural diversity and a well-rounded understanding of global affairs.

Tim Haynes, Governing Chair of Shrewsbury School, UK, expressed his enthusiasm about the upcoming school, stating, "We are thrilled to embark on this new chapter in Shrewsbury School's rich legacy. The introduction of our offshore Indian campus enables us to share our storied educational heritage with the wider global community and the young, developing minds of Indian students. Rooted in academic excellence, coupled with a commitment to inclusivity, diversity and personal growth, we empower young minds to thrive in an ever-evolving world."

Hari Mohan Gupta, Chairman Governing Body, Jagran Social Welfare Society, said "We are delighted to partner with Shrewsbury School, which aligns seamlessly with our vision of nurturing young minds to develop into empowered global citizens. Through this collaboration, we aim to bring a world-class educational experience to India, where students can thrive academically, culturally, and socially. The launch of Shrewsbury International School, India Campus, marks a pivotal moment in our commitment to shaping the future leaders of our nation."

This momentous development has been made possible through a dynamic partnership with the Jagran Social Welfare Society in India, a shared advocate for transformative education.
