International Overview

Shrewsbury School delivers whole person education in a thriving and inclusive boarding and day school community that champions the individual.

Founded by Royal Charter in 1552, Shrewsbury School is one of the 'great' nine schools in England identified by the Clarendon Commission of 1861. Over the centuries it has grown in size and reputation and is now ranked amongst the leading co-educational boarding schools in the world, educating over 1,000 pupils aged between 4 and 18 years.

On two breath-taking campuses pupils participate in a wide range of sporting, music and co-curricular activities, as well as being encouraged to engage in adventure and charitable endeavour. The academic provision at Shrewsbury School is tailored to the needs and enthusiasms of the individual and engages pupils in a learning process that combines inspirational teaching with a commitment to encouraging intellectual curiosity. Shrewsbury School aims to ensure that all its pupils leave as fully rounded, well-educated and responsible adults, committed to contributing to their communities. These aims permeate our international schools.

International Family of Schools

British education is quite rightly perceived as the gold standard globally, and here at Shrewsbury School we delight in playing our part in developing outstanding schools around the world. One of the pioneers in providing premium British education internationally, our first international school opened in Bangkok back in 2003. Since then we have continued to grow our international presence, always with a focus on maintaining our ethos and philosophy.

The attraction to both local families and expatriates is clear: our international schools have become recognised for the highest levels of academic achievement, excellence in sport, creative and performing arts, and a wide variety of co-curricular opportunities with which the Shrewsbury name is synonymous; all this while preparing pupils for the modern world in the comfort of their local environment.
