Starting an educational journey off right

Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong is set to open in just over a year in Lohas Park, Tseung Kwan O. It will be the second Shrewsbury School in Asia after Shrewsbury International School Bangkok, and will welcome close to 1,000 students into its top-class purpose-built facility that includes a drama studio, a dance room, an aquatic centre, gym, football pitch and other sporting facilities designed to provide a premium learning experience for young children.

“We will offer six classes in each year group, and we want to have small classes,” says principal Ben Keeling, explaining that they accept students starting from age three for nursery, age four for reception and ages five to 10 for primary one to six.

Keeling, who has already spent four years working in Hong Kong’s education sector, hopes to build Shrewsbury into a large, vibrant community with students coming from a variety of different backgrounds.

“The basis of this arrangement is our recognition that children learn from other children,” he says. “We want to provide them a breadth of opportunity to engage with other learners.”
