Our Mission
Shrewsbury International School offers an inspirational English language education for carefully
selected students, caring for them in an organisation committed to continuous improvement, and
providing outstanding opportunities both in and out of the classroom.
We recruit the finest teachers and staff, providing them with the resources to nurture outstanding
students and exemplify the pioneering spirit and traditions of Shrewsbury School. From our Junior
School students, enthusiastically developing their interests and passion for learning, to our exemplary
Sixth Form leaders graduating to embark on careers at the world’s leading universities, Shrewsbury
International School is established around its innovative, ambitious, dynamic international community.
Our Values
Selectivity
We endeavour to bring together exceptional students into our community of learning, whether these
students are outstanding in the classroom, concert hall, sports field, on stage or simply in person.
Each part of the school adopts best practices for its admissions, ensuring careful, precise and fair
selectivity at all stages of entry. We are a selective school where ambition, determination and the
pursuit of excellence are carefully nurtured.
Exceptional People
We are a caring, thoughtful community of exceptional people, from our talented students and
ambitious parents to our hand-picked, fully-qualified staff. The Shrewsbury environment is people-
centred. We recognise achievements of all kinds and continue to develop the professional skills of
our primary asset, our staff. We strive to ensure that parents are fully engaged stakeholders in the
learning process.
Commitment & Renewal
We are a school that is engaged in a process of continual improvement, growth and renewal,
recognising the rapid changes required to keep pace with developments in education. Our
development plans are dedicated to bringing quality staff to a school whilst ensuring, committed
investment in infrastructure and facilities. Our purpose-built school is modern, contemporary and
designed to enhance the learning experience of students of the 21st century.
Outstanding Opportunities
We offer an impressive range of curriculum and co-curricular activities to extend the interests and
horizons of every student. Our Excellence Programmes challenge and support students gifted in
music, visual and performing arts and sport. We offer scholarships to exceptional students through
a selection process that is rigorous, transparent and fair.
English Language
We are a community of language learners that recognises that the speaking of English brings our
international community together. Shrewsbury students understand that the ability to think, learn and
communicate in English will allow them to achieve their very highest potential at school, university
and in the world of work.
Care & Compassion
Shrewsbury understands the pressures on young people in the modern world. Our teachers pride
themselves on the care they give to children and the partnership they form with parents to allow
children to be happy as well as successful. From community action to unparalleled university
counselling, Shrewsbury endeavours to give priority to the highest standards of pastoral care and
individual support.
The Shrewsbury Way
We are a British international school that whilst being contemporary is firmly in the tradition of our
sister school in the UK. We share its exemplary standards of achievement, care and governance and
enjoy all the advantages of our location. Our learner profile provides a pathway that has served
generations of Salopians—as our motto relates, if the heart is right, all will be well.
