Lucknow, 25 April (HS): This
August, Shrewsbury International School India, will welcome its very first
batch of students to a verdant 150-acre campus in Bhopal. The institution
brings to India, ‘Floreat’, Shrewsbury School UK’s distinctive model of
whole-person education in a well-resourced boarding and day school community.
Shrewsbury School founded in 1552 has a legacy spanning over 472 years.
Abhishek Mohan Gupta, the Founder and President, Shrewsbury International
School India says, We are bringing to India the same ethos of value-based
education which champions the individual and nurtures inner virtues, life
skills as well as character strengths. Not to mention a modern pedagogy that
brings the very best of international learning modules to Indian students. What
we are offering is education responsive to Indian cultural sensibilities but
also shaped by a synergistic, wide-ranging, world-class curriculum.
He adds that inspirational teaching by an
international faculty will kindle in them a lifelong love for learning and
guide them towards the realisation of their full potential. As he says,
At Shrewsbury, knowledge is acquired not just within the four walls of
the classroom, but also via an immensely varied and enriching co-curricular
programme amid the warmth of pastoral care and a vibrant peer community.
This international learning module, according to
him, also inculcates a borderless spirit of inclusivity in students and gives
them a global perspective. He adds,
Many schools in Bhopal are forging strategic collaborations with
international academic bodies and institutions and we too will facilitate
access to globally benchmarked curriculums with exchange programs, foreign
faculty visits to technology-driven classrooms and joint certifications. These
partnerships, cutting-edge learning methodologies and intercultural exposure
will prepare our pupils for global challenges. As the demand for
international pedagogy increases, Shrewsbury International School India, says
Abhishek Mohan Gupta, is poised to become a trendsetter in the region’s
education sector by empowering students to thrive in an interconnected world
while fostering a collaborative, multicultural community.
