Through the activities offered within this programme, we seek to set a positive tone for the year ahead." The Shrewsbury India Leadership Programme offers students a glimpse into the school's world-class curriculum adopted from the Cambridge International Programmes of study, leading towards IGCSE and A-Level qualifications. As students join from other countries as well, this will provide a strong foundation for cross-cultural collaboration. "At the core of the Shrewsbury credo, is warm pastoral care, strong peer relationships as well as meaningful, collaborative experiences. This introductory programme not only offers an insight into the engaging curriculum of the school, but also reflects its strong ethos and the whole-person education philosophy that it brings to India for the first time," remarks, Peter Willett, Deputy Head - Pastoral. The programme is also designed to introduce students to the creative and performing arts, helping them develop confidence and self-awareness. It also aims to nurture ethical decision-making, emotional intelligence and future-ready thinking - skills essential to thrive in today's evolving educational landscape. "This programme is only the beginning of a thrilling academic journey that lies ahead for each Salopian. By the time, they walk into the school campus, they will be ready for the transformative future that awaits their presence at Shrewsbury International School India," concludes Russell.
