Shrewsbury School, located in the UK, has always innovated to meet the prospects for the future and the problems of the present, in the spirit of its most famous alumnus, Charles Darwin. This could be the reason the highly esteemed college, steeped in history and founded in 1552, is still a top institution today. The renowned UK university, which is constantly looking for new ways to improve the educational experience, is now prepared to accept students to Shrewsbury International School India, a coeducational boarding school, at its cutting-edge 150-acre campus in Bhopal, India.
Discussing the school’s philosophy, ‘Shrewsbury for Life,’ Abhishek Mohan Gupta, Founder and President of the Board of Management at Shrewsbury International School India says, “All-encompassing, holistic education is growing increasingly popular across the world, among parents and educational institutes alike. In India as well, we want to enable students to realise their aspirations to excel beyond academics in a well-resourced and nurturing environment. We will not only enrich Indian students with tenets of Aristotelian wisdom but also make them future ready with cutting-edge pedagogy.
Mr. Dominic Tomalin, the founding headmaster of Shrewsbury India, elaborates on how Aristotelian philosophy is specifically reflected in the curriculum of the school “The Floreat model reflects Aristotelian theories about the importance of character development, virtues as well as the nurturing of the ‘whole person.'” Students that receive holistic education both within and outside of the classroom are able to develop into bright, ambitious, and creative individuals who can also solve issues, work in groups, and give back to the community.”
The Floreat model, he explains, is supported by intellectual curiosity, the quest for truth and love for learning. The emphasis on self-expression helps students to cultivate communication skills and articulacy. Focus on creativity and innovation leads them to The Floreat model, he explains, is supported by intellectual curiosity, the quest for truth and love for learning.
