Shrewsbury School

[EduCativ]

Shrewsbury School has a world-class reputation for all-around excellence. Fully co-educational, with a seven-day boarding heartbeat and an integral day community, we deliver a dynamic education that develops the abilities and enthusiasms of every individual girl and boy.
School should be serious fun. Learning and enjoyment go hand in hand: in the classroom, through a vibrant co-curricular program, and in the communal life of the School. At Shrewsbury, we aim to provide the most diverse, challenging, and supportive environment in which all our children can thrive and exceed their expectations.
A good education opens doors. This means getting the best possible examination results and qualifications. Academic excellence is achieved through a wide-ranging curriculum that uncovers and encourages a genuine love of learning, alongside inspirational teaching that challenges each pupil to strive for her or his personal best. However, examination certificates are just one product of education. Many skills, values, and aptitudes do not come with a piece of paper, but they are nonetheless vital for happy and purposeful living. A great education nurtures character and it lasts a lifetime.
The Shrewsbury School motto gets to the heart of our vision: Intus Si Recte Ne Labora – ‘if all is right within, trouble not’. Ours is not a superficial, skin-deep education but one that seeks to develop the whole person. If our values are true, and we live by them with honesty and conviction if we look beyond the surface of things to question and champion independence of mind and if we learn deeply to lead lives of meaning, generosity, and purpose, then we will see the full fruits of a Shrewsbury education.
We understand that the choice of the right senior school is as complex as it is important. With this in mind, a personal visit is the best way to form a view as to what makes Shrewsbury School so special.
Shrewsbury School has a strong vision, derived from its position as a major co-educational boarding school of international reputation. It aims to instill a rigorous approach to academic work, based on the encouragement of independent thinking and intellectual curiosity. The school believes that learning should be a habit that is inculcated for life, not only a means to short-term examination success.
Through its diverse opportunities, Shrewsbury School aims to encourage and enable pupils to become caring, thoughtful, confident members of society. Ambitious yet not arrogant, generous in spirit, interesting, interested, and able to respect and communicate effectively with people of all backgrounds.
To this end, Shrewsbury will always strive to achieve the highest possible standards in the breadth and quality of its curriculum, the provision of its facilities and resources, and the achievements - whether academic, sporting, musical, theatrical, or artistic - of its pupils and staff. Shrewsbury delights in the uniqueness of its education a blend of values, traditions, inspiring people, a beautiful location, participation in the world beyond school, and a strong belief that life is what you make of it.
