BHOPAL: With a history dating back to 1552 when it was founded via a charter granted by King Edward VI, Shrewsbury School has for over 472 years, been synonymous with prestige and world-class, ‘whole person’ education. In 2025, Shrewsbury International School India will open the doors of its 150-acre campus in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh with a promise to offer world-class, holistic and culturally integrated education for Indian students aged 11 to 18.  Shrewsbury International School India will be a co-educational residential boarding school and will adhere to the British National Curriculum leading to Cambridge International examinations and A-Level courses.

Abhishek Mohan Gupta, Founder and President of the Board of Management at Shrewsbury International School India, shares his vision, "Our campus will seamlessly blend India’s cultural heritage with the global standards that define Shrewsbury. We aim to offer our students the best of both, a curriculum that balances academic excellence and holistic development. The campus boasts a 160,000-square-foot academic block, 20 diverse sports facilities, a 40,000-square-foot performing arts school, and a dedicated language centre offering over six languages—Each element at Shrewsbury International School India is designed to create an optimal learning environment.

Our facilities include specialised laboratories for Design and Technology, Science, and Astronomy, along with cutting-edge sports amenities where students can engage in unique activities like Indoor Rowing, Scuba Diving, and Fencing, making Shrewsbury India  the first international residential school in India to offer these. Additionally, our collaboration with Trinity College London will allow students to pursue diplomas in music and dramatics."

A special event was organised in Amritsar by the Shrewsbury India team in the presence of Mr. Dominic Tomalin, the newly appointed Founding Headmaster of Shrewsbury India. The event provided a platform for prospective parents and budding students to engage with the promoters and the founding headmaster. Admissions for the academic session 2025-26 were also discussed at this event.

In his address at the event, Headmaster Dominic Tomalin said, "We are committed to make this school one of the leading residential schools in Asia, we are proud to offer an optimal learning environment to students that makes them future ready and honors their spirit of inquiry while keeping their core cultural values in sight.”

The school is also providing a unique occasion to parents to experience the state-of-the-art campus, first-hand, by scheduling visits starting October 2024, where they may take a glimpse into the fulfilling educational experience that awaits their wards at Shrewsbury International School India.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
