Shrewsbury International School India in Bhopal has been officially opened.

Shrewsbury School in the UK has partnered with Jagran Social Welfare Society since 2023 to establish the full co-educational boarding school.

Occupying a 150-acre campus the school will teach Grades 6 to 12, following the Cambridge Curriculum, preparing pupils for the Cambridge International IGCSE examinations in Grades 9 and 10. Successful completion of these examinations will allow them to pursue A-level programmes in Grades 11 and 12.

The school offers India’s first on-campus training facilities for indoor rowing, fencing and scuba diving, alongside 20 indoor and outdoor sports options. The school has also collaborated with Trinity College London to offer diplomas in music, speech and drama.

The official opening of the school was hosted by Carla Howarth, chair of the advisory board of governors at Shrewsbury International School India and chair of the international development committee at Shrewsbury School in the UK.

Howarth said: “It is truly rewarding to see the timeless Salopian virtues, rooted in Shrewsbury’s heritage, become part of the educational journey in India. The inauguration of our first fully residential campus outside the UK is a milestone moment for the global Shrewsbury family.”
