Bhopal, India — August 17, 2025:
Shrewsbury School, a 473-year-old prestigious institution from the UK, has officially launched its first South Asian campus in Bhopal, India, marking a major expansion of its international presence. The new Shrewsbury International School India offers state-of-the-art educational facilities, including cutting-edge digital education resources, designed to enhance learning and equip students with skills for the future.
Located on a sprawling 150-acre campus, the school caters to students from grades 6 to 12 and follows the renowned Cambridge Curriculum. This academic framework will prepare students for the Cambridge International IGCSE Examinations in grades 9 and 10, followed by the opportunity to pursue A-Level programs in grades 11 and 12.
The school’s commitment to cutting-edge education is underscored by its modern digital tools, which aim to foster a forward-thinking, tech-savvy student body. In addition to these digital resources, the Bhopal campus boasts a range of world-class facilities, such as specialized science laboratories, dedicated language-learning centres, and expansive studios for the performing and visual arts.
Shrewsbury School also offers a unique, transformative approach to sports education, providing on-campus training facilities for niche sports such as indoor rowing, fencing, and scuba diving. Students will have access to over 20 indoor and outdoor sports options, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience that promotes physical well-being and personal development.
In addition to its academic and sporting offerings, the school has partnered with Trinity College London to provide internationally recognized diplomas in Music, Speech, and Drama. This collaboration aims to support and nurture students' artistic talents and enhance their creative potential.
As the first full-scale residential campus established outside the UK, the Shrewsbury Bhopal branch is already attracting attention from families in India and nearby countries, including Bangladesh, seeking world-class education. The campus is set to open its doors to its inaugural cohort of students on August 18, 2025.
The inauguration ceremony held on August 8 was attended by prominent figures such as Mrs. Carla Howarth, Chair of the Advisory Board of Governors at Shrewsbury International School India, who hailed the event as a milestone for the Shrewsbury family.
